Essential Quantitative Aptitude

The Centre of Placement and Career Guidance (CPCG), in collaboration with the School of Business and Management (BBA), organized a comprehensive three-day placement training program aimed at equipping BBA students with essential aptitude skills for competitive recruitment processes. With aptitude and reasoning tests forming a crucial part of corporate hiring and competitive examinations, the program was carefully structured to help students build a strong foundation in Quantitative Ability and Logical Reasoning, while also training them in problem-solving with speed and accuracy.

The training was conducted in a structured manner, with the cluster divided into two batches to ensure smooth delivery of content and individual attention. Both batches covered the same set of topics but in a different sequence, thereby optimizing trainer availability and maintaining consistency in learning outcomes.

The first day of the program focused on establishing a strong foundation in core concepts of Quantitative Ability and Logical Reasoning. Sessions covered topics such as Number Theory, HCF & LCM, Number and Letter Series, Odd One Out, Visual Reasoning, Percentages, and Profit & Loss. These areas provided the groundwork for improving numerical ability and basic reasoning skills, while also enabling students to recognize patterns and think logically under time constraints. The day’s activities laid a strong conceptual base that prepared students for more advanced problem-solving in the subsequent sessions.

On the second day, the focus shifted to applied reasoning and analytical problem-solving. Topics included Coding and Decoding, Directions, Ratio and Proportions, Variations, Partnership, Blood Relations, and Seating Arrangements. These sessions emphasized critical thinking and relational reasoning, skills often tested in recruitment exams to assess an individual’s ability to analyze structured information. Through problem-solving exercises and practice sets, students gained practical insights into approaching complex problems systematically and effectively. The day also helped them refine their quantitative applications in real-world scenarios, strengthening both logic and accuracy.

The final day of training concentrated on advanced modules designed to integrate speed, accuracy, and higher-order reasoning. Sessions included Time, Speed & Distance, Trains, Boats & Streams, Syllogisms, Data Sufficiency, and Data Interpretation. These topics required a balance of numerical efficiency and logical deduction, providing students with a simulation of the challenges posed by actual placement tests. The practice-oriented approach allowed students to test their understanding in a competitive setting, thereby building their confidence and exam-readiness.

By the end of the program, participants had significantly strengthened their aptitude and reasoning capabilities. They not only developed conceptual clarity in core topics but also learned practical test-taking strategies, including time management and accuracy improvement. Importantly, the sessions enhanced their confidence, preparing them for placement drives and other competitive assessments. Overall, the training program proved to be an impactful initiative, aligning academic preparation with career readiness and empowering students with the skills necessary to succeed in today’s highly competitive job market.
