SET
While the name SET is common for all undergraduate papers, there is a separate test for its BBA programme. This is one of the few undergrad management entrance tests where no marks are deducted incorrect attempts. Thus logical guesses can often prove to be the difference.

There are a total of 150 questions divided between the 4 major segments to be answered within a generous time limit of 2.5 hours. Out of these 150 questions, there will be 30 for Reasoning and 40 each for GK, English and Maths.
