How to prepare for तालिका विश्लेषण (Table Analysis) for CUET-UG ?

Expected Weightage

The Common University Entrance Test (CUET) for तालिका विश्लेषण (Table Analysis) is part of the General Test section, which assesses reasoning and analytical skills. Below is an analysis of the marking pattern and chapter-wise weightage for Table Analysis over the last three years (2022–2024).

1. CUET General Test Structure (2022–2024)

  • Total Questions: 60 (out of which 50 must be attempted)
  • Total Marks: 200 (each question carries 4 marks)
  • Negative Marking: -1 for incorrect answers
  • Section Weightage:
  • Quantitative Reasoning: ~20–25%
  • Logical Analytical Reasoning: ~25–30%
  • Table Analysis (तालिका विश्लेषण): ~10–15% (~5–8 questions)

2. Table Analysis (तालिका विश्लेषण) - Chapter-wise Weightage

Table Analysis questions test data interpretation, pattern recognition, and logical deductions from tabular data. The weightage has been consistent over the years:

YearNo. of QuestionsMarks (Approx.)Topics Covered
20225–620–24Data Extraction, Trends, Comparisons
20236–724–28Percentages, Averages, Conditional Analysis
20245–820–32Missing Data, Logical Deductions

Key Topics in Table Analysis:

  1. Data Extraction (30–40%) – Reading and interpreting values from tables.
  2. Trend Analysis (20–30%) – Identifying growth/decline patterns.
  3. Comparative Analysis (20%) – Comparing multiple data points.
  4. Calculations (10–20%) – Percentages, averages, ratios.

3. Trends Observations (2022–2024)

  • Difficulty Level: Moderate (requires quick calculations logical reasoning).
  • Question Types: Mostly MCQs , sometimes case-based tables.
  • Scoring Potential: High if practiced (since answers are fact-based).
  • Common Mistakes: Misreading data, calculation errors.

4. Preparation Strategy

  • Focus Areas:
  • Speed Reading Tables (rows, columns, headers).
  • Basic Arithmetic (percentages, averages).
  • Logical Deduction (finding hidden patterns).
  • Practice Resources:
  • Previous CUET papers (2022–2024).
  • RS Aggarwal’s Data Interpretation book.
  • Mock tests from CUET Mocks BYJU’s.

Conclusion

  • Weightage: ~10–15% in General Test (~5–8 questions).
  • Scoring: High accuracy possible with practice.
  • Trend: Increasing focus on complex tables with calculations (2024).
