The rapid-reading section gives a 10-minute slot for an unseen Assamese passage of about 200 words on an embankment breach and a relief camp, followed by five 2-mark items: two literal (who, when), two inference (the writer's attitude, and a cause the passage implies but does not state), one vocabulary-in-context (the word উদ্বাস্তু as used in the passage), and one grammar item asking the candidate to name the সমাস in a phrase lifted from the passage. A candidate reads the passage twice, taking 4 minutes, writes the two literal answers, then jumps to the grammar item and spends 3 minutes on it, leaving both inference items blank and the vocabulary item answered with a dictionary gloss that does not fit the sentence.
