NUJS 2007 ENTRANCE PAPERENGLISH

Word meanings two separate sets -10 words in each set (question 1 to 10 and

question 21 to 30) total of 20 marksIn the first set of words (questions 1 to 10), the words were general vocabulary.

No legal terms. Fairly simple. Anyone who is a regular reader would know the

meanings of at least seven of those words.Second set of words (questions 21 to 30) were also general vocabulary. There was

only one Latin phrase, questions 25 quid pro quo.

Questions 11 to 15 were sentences with two blanks. Options contained a set oftwo words. These could prove to be a little tricky for anyone who is not too

comfortable with English since in some cases more than one option may seem

appropriate. Example: sentences 11 and 15.

Questions 16 20 were fill in the blank with the most appropriate word. Some

of these sentences also seem to be testing your vocabulary skills since the words

given in the options are not simple. In question 17 two of the options were

expediency and sophistry. If you didnt know the meanings of these words, youmight be a little confused. Also, in question 18 the word cogent has been used

which, interestingly, is a word one hears a lot in law school in cases, but if the

examinee doesnt know the meaning of that word, he may not have got thequestion right.

Questions 31 to 40 were fill in the blanks. The first two questions were basic

grammar, while the other eight questions seem to test whether the examinee canuse a word in the correct context. So these sentences were also an indirect way to

test vocabulary. Some of the options were words like proclivity, compunction,

perdition, proffered etc.

Conclusion- emphasis was laid on vocabulary skills. Good thing is that none ofthe words were really obscure. They were all words that we come across while

reading the newspaper or books. They also did not give any legal terms (unless

you count rescind- question 7 as a legal term) and only one Latin phrase. Note:There was no comprehension passage.

LOGICAL REASONING:Total of 15 questions

Questions 166 to 170 assertion reasoning type questions. The first question inthis set required some knowledge of economics. The second question was a

general statement while the other three were based on certain facts. In order to

answer these questions, the examinee must know what is a bicameral parliament

and parliamentary system, what is the difference between a republic andmonarchy and what is meant by sovereignty. Only one out of the five statements

was based on a general statement. The examinee is expected to be thorough with

certain fundamental high school civics concepts.

Questions 171- 175 are a mixed bag. They all contain a passage or a statementfollowed by options and the examinee is required to choose the most appropriate

one according to the instructions. There is one Strengthening-weakeningargument question, one question where a statement is given and the examinee is

required to identify from the options the statement that follows the same logic as

the one given in the question and three questions based on drawing an inferencefrom the statement or passage.
