The SRCC GBO 2027 syllabus has four sections: English Comprehension and Language Ability, Quantitative Ability, Logical Ability or Reasoning, and Data Interpretation.

The four SRCC GBO sections, the topics they usually cover, the marking scheme and how to prepare.
What is the SRCC GBO 2027 syllabus?
The test checks general aptitude in four sections. SRCC names only the sections, so the topics below are the areas these sections usually cover in management aptitude tests, not an official list.
| Section | Topics usually covered |
|---|---|
| English Comprehension and Language Ability | Reading comprehension, vocabulary, grammar, sentence correction, para-jumbles, verbal reasoning |
| Quantitative Ability | Number system, percentages, ratio and proportion, profit and loss, time-speed-distance, algebra, geometry, mensuration |
| Logical Ability / Reasoning | Arrangements, puzzles, blood relations, syllogisms, coding-decoding, series, analytical reasoning |
| Data Interpretation | Tables, bar, line and pie charts, caselets, data sufficiency |
What is the SRCC GBO 2027 exam pattern and marking?
Each section has 25 questions and its own 30-minute timer, so the test has 100 questions in 120 minutes.
| Section | Questions | Time |
|---|---|---|
| English Comprehension and Language Ability | 25 | 30 minutes |
| Quantitative Ability | 25 | 30 minutes |
| Logical Ability / Reasoning | 25 | 30 minutes |
| Data Interpretation | 25 | 30 minutes |
| Total | 100 (400 marks) | 120 minutes |
A correct answer gets 4 marks and a wrong answer loses 1 mark, so the maximum is 400. There is no sectional cut-off and an on-screen calculator is provided. The test is in English only.

How should you prepare for SRCC GBO 2027?
Because every section has a fixed 30 minutes, prepare all four evenly and practise under section-wise timing.
- Build basics in arithmetic and reasoning first, then move to timed sets of 25 questions in 30 minutes.
- Read daily to improve reading speed for comprehension, and keep a vocabulary list.
- Practise data interpretation with the on-screen calculator in mind, but keep mental arithmetic fast.
- With -1 for every wrong answer, skip questions you cannot narrow down.
- Prepare for the GDPI alongside: follow business and economic news, since the interview also tests general knowledge of management and international business.
Useful books for practice:
- RS Aggarwal Quantitative Aptitude for Competitive Examinations for Quantitative Ability.
- Arihant Quantum CAT by Sarvesh K Verma for harder quant practice.
- Arihant A New Approach to Reasoning (Verbal, Non-Verbal and Analytical) for Logical Ability.
