NABARD Grade A 2021 Exam: The quantitative section does not have the same weightage as other banking exams. There will be 20 questions for 20 marks in phase 1 of NABARD Grade A. Nonetheless, it’s still imperative to get quant questions right as it will affect your overall journey as we advance in these exams. In this article, we will share the top 5 quantitative aptitude topics which you shouldn’t miss at any cost whatsoever.
Note: Data Interpretation is obviously included here. It hasn’t been mentioned separately because these five topics will indirectly cover DI.
Ideally, we don’t know what should be the ideal score for the quants section. However, getting 8-10 questions is being considered a safe bet. In order to get 8-10 questions correct, you will have to cover the five mentioned quant topics with utmost sincerity.
The justification for these topics lies in their comparison of last year’s NABARD papers.
