A 60-minute paper with 60 questions leaves very little room for hesitation in SET BBA. The latest official SET structure gives 16 questions each to General English, Quantitative and General Awareness, while Analytical and Logical Reasoning has 12 questions. There is also no negative marking, making question selection different from exams where every wrong attempt costs marks. This SET BBA sample paper is designed around that structure, with section-wise practice questions and an exam-oriented analysis for 2027 preparation.

The sample questions should not be treated as a complete prediction of the actual paper. Their purpose is to expose candidates to the type of thinking required across the four sections.
Section | High-Priority Topics | Other Important Topics | What to Practise |
General English | Reading Comprehension, Vocabulary, Grammar, Sentence Correction | Para Jumbles, Fill in the Blanks, Idioms and Phrases | Short passages, synonyms and antonyms, contextual vocabulary, tenses, articles, prepositions, subject-verb agreement, sentence ordering |
Quantitative | Percentages, Ratio & Proportion, Profit & Loss, Averages, Time, Speed & Distance, Time & Work | Simple Interest & Compound Interest, Number System, Data Interpretation | Percentage changes, ratios, weighted averages, discounts, relative speed, efficiency, work-rate problems, divisibility, remainders and basic tables/charts |
General Awareness | Current Affairs, Business & Economy, Government & Polity | Sports, Awards & Honours, Science & Technology, Books & Authors, Geography | Recent national and international events, economic developments, important institutions, government initiatives, major sports events, awards, scientific developments, countries, capitals and currencies |
Analytical & Logical Reasoning | Number & Alphabet Series, Coding-Decoding, Blood Relations, Direction Sense, Seating Arrangement, Syllogisms | Analogy, Classification, Ranking & Order, Statement & Conclusion | Pattern recognition, coded relationships, family trees, directions, arrangements, logical deductions, rankings and statement-based reasoning |
Because SET has no negative marking, the approach to attempts differs from examinations with penalty marking. Candidates can attempt all questions if time permits, but the priority should still be solving questions efficiently rather than spending several minutes on one problem.
Prepare for the SET BBA exam with this mock test PDF designed to help you practise the actual exam pattern, improve speed and accuracy, and assess your preparation across all sections.
Do not solve the sample paper once and move on. Use it as a diagnostic exercise.
Complete the 20 questions under a strict time limit and record the score.
Classify every incorrect question as:
Conceptual error
Calculation error
Misreading
Vocabulary gap
Logical error
Guess
If Quant takes too long, practise short arithmetic sets. If English accuracy is low, separate vocabulary and grammar practice. If Reasoning is slow, practise series, coding and arrangement questions independently.
Once section-wise accuracy improves, practise the complete 60-question, 60-minute SET BBA format to test whether the improvement survives under actual time pressure.
