Part 1: Writing (35 minutes)
First of all, DON'T TAKE THIS SECTION FOR GRANTED. This is One True Reflection of Your Language, Creative and Interpretation Skills. In these, two types of questions are always asked. (1) You are provided with a statement, A Thought Provoking Statement. You have to write for OR against and an article with lurking heaving on only one instant (either to or against, not both otherwise be ready for zero marks in it). Best time limit (15 - 20 min.) Before rushing directly into writing I rather suggest to collect some thoughts and then weave it into the structure. Don't go into BANAL details. Write only TO THE POINT. The main hurdle in this section is to maintain the time limit. So with the proper practice of 8-10 topics, gain some momentum and rock the world. Tips:- 3 Minutes on brainstorming in your head
- Jot down KEY Points – and pen down the structure

Part 2: MICAT Objectives:
Due to its length people consider this paper as a monster, but being honest this is the most chilled paper they ever saw in life. It's like beer. To ease it out this is further ramified into sub-sections. 1. Psychometric test: Psychometric test as the name suggests is all to reveal your true self or best fit for the type of curriculum there. It gives you situations, instances and realistic scenarios whose answer will check how consistent you are in your thinking. It should not get contradictory answers from you. Your thinking or rather approach to a problem is all that matters. There is nothing perfectly wrong or right in these answers but they try to judge the best fit and honestly, most important consistency. This section is compulsory to attempt and there is no negative marking since there can be any right or wrong answer. There were 3 types of questions.- The first set had a set of 30 statements out of which the candidates had to pick 10 statements best describing their personality.
- In the second set of questions, the candidates had to choose from a set of 2 arguments and rate them according to their personality.
- The third set of questions one had to rank various responses under given circumstances on a scale of 1 to 6 where 1 implies the highest priority and 6 imply the least priority.
