The English section rewards accuracy over range: error spotting, sentence improvement, fill in the blanks, synonyms and antonyms, idioms and phrases, one-word substitution, active–passive voice, direct–indirect speech, and a comprehension passage.

This section combines a speed test - English typing on a QWERTY keyboard and Hindi typing usually on Krutidev/Remington GAIL or a Unicode (Mangal) layout - with computer fundamentals: hardware and software, memory units, MS Word and Excel, shortcuts, internet and e-mail, and basic number systems.
