The Paper is of two parts : Aptitude and Technical .The Aptitude paper is based on the GRE pattern and consists ofanalogies, reading comprehension, passages etc. There is more thanone paper pattern and the other patterns may have questions on seriesand logical reasoning.
The Technical paper is same for all patterns .The important subjectsare computer architecture , operating systems , microprocessors , Cetc.
