Section-Wise PGDBA Strategy

1. PGDBA Strategy For Quantitative Aptitude

The most basic PGDBA strategy for Quant would be to start from the very basics. Take up Number System as a starter. Start from the very basics; percentages, averages, calculations, etc. Moving on from the basics, you must have noticed in the PGDBA syllabus that the PGDBA exam is Mathematics oriented. It consists of topics from Classes XI and XII. A thorough revision through the NCERT books will also prove to be very helpful. In case, you don’t recall much, you can go for iQuanta’s PGDBA Course for a structured preparation.

2. PGDBA Strategy For Logical Reasoning & Data Interpretation

The LRDI section remains more or less similar to the CAT exam. If you have prepared for CAT or any other MBA exams, you just need a little brushing up for practice. The best PGDBA strategy for LRDI would be to practice as many sets as possible. You can go through iQuanta’s LRDI Master Playlist on Youtube for an efficient practice of the LRDI section.

3. PGDBA Strategy For Verbal Ability

The PGDBA Verbal Ability section’s syllabus is similar to the CAT Exam. The section’s level of difficulty can change from year to year. The Verbal Ability component of the PGDBA Exam are considered to be of  moderate difficulty, with the Reading Comprehension questions being significantly more challenging than the other problems. Following QA, the candidate’s attention should be focused on reading comprehension. Practice reading on a daily basis. You can use iQuanta’s 250 Genre-Wise Reading Articles for this purpose. The PGDBA strategy to ace this section lies with developing a reading habit. Analyse the passages to understand the tone and purpose of the passage.

You can also solve CAT previous year papers for practice.
