        shubhra mam ..
        Does the marks of first slot candidates and other slot candidate differ ? ( Assuming subsequent slot candidates know the Q type and trick involved )?

        1. I am not sure.
          But I dont think that any extra marks are given to the candidates having exam on 1st day 1st shift.
          Last year I got many reviews that many were not able to clear the exam who had exam on 1st day 1st shift.

        2. U had on 1st day 1st shift ???

          1. BHUVAN BAM

            yep…i messed up big time in reasoning

          2. Yes Reasoning is always tricky. Hope for best. But if it is missed this time, at least u have experience now that what not to do in exams. 🙂
