Hi there,

Yes you can leave any question less than 8 questions from all of the respected 3 sections

  • Verbal And Logical Ability

  • Decision Making

  • Data Interpretation

and you cant leave more than 8 because for every 8 unattempted questions there is a negative marking of 0.05 and for every wrong answer  in GK section you can leave as it doesnt have negative marking

Hello,

why to leave any question. answer all if there is no negative marking. If there is negative marking then don't do guess work. Go with procedure and solve questions.

It doesnt have negative marking for some sections so why to leave any  question unanswered. Practice all the sections and solve previous year papers too.

aptitude questions are bit tricky and logical questions are easy if you practice alot as the have patterns and english is english.

You have time so prepare well and don't leave anything but still you have limit upto 8 and it covers all the sections. It not for individual section.

hope it helps!
