Aptitude Roadmap for Campus Placements

The aptitude round is the very first filter at most campus drives (TCS, Infosys, Wipro, Accenture) — this is the order IndiaBix/PrepInsta-style resources recommend covering the 4 sections in.

9 milestones · ~55 hours total

1. 1

   Quantitative: Number System & Percentages

   ~6h

   LCM/HCF, divisibility rules, percentage change — the base every later quant topic assumes you already have.

2. 2

   Quantitative: Time, Speed & Distance; Time & Work

   ~8h

   Relative speed, pipes-and-cisterns style problems — a near-guaranteed topic in every placement paper.

   Practice this →
3. 3

   Quantitative: Profit & Loss, Simple/Compound Interest

   ~6h

   Marked price vs. cost price traps are the most common mistake here — work through enough examples to stop falling for them.

   Practice this →
4. 4

   Logical Reasoning: Coding-Decoding & Series

   ~6h

   Letter/number series, coding patterns — fast pattern recognition matters more than formulas here.

   Practice this →
5. 5

   Logical Reasoning: Blood Relations & Puzzles

   ~8h

   Family-tree style relation puzzles and seating-arrangement logic — practice volume matters more than theory.

   Practice this →
6. 6

   Verbal Ability: Grammar & Vocabulary

   ~6h

   Subject-verb agreement, synonyms/antonyms — usually the fastest section to improve with focused practice.

   Practice this →
7. 7

   Verbal Ability: Reading Comprehension

   ~6h

   Timed passages — practice reading for structure (main idea, tone) rather than every detail.

   Practice this →
8. 8

   Data Interpretation: Tables, Bar & Pie Charts

   ~8h

   Percentage-of-a-whole and growth-rate questions dominate this section — the pie-chart-to-percentage conversion is worth drilling until automatic.
