The Gurukripa National Aptitude Test (GNAT) 2025 assesses candidates on a wide range of subjects to evaluate their readiness for higher education. The syllabus covers essential topics across four main sections: Mathematics, Science, English, and General Knowledge. Each section is designed to test specific skills and knowledge areas, providing a comprehensive evaluation of the candidate’s capabilities.
-
Mathematics
The Mathematics section focuses on fundamental concepts and problem-solving skills. Topics include:
- Algebra: Linear equations, quadratic equations, sequences, series, and logarithms.
- Geometry: Properties of triangles, circles, polygons, and coordinate geometry.
- Trigonometry: Trigonometric functions, identities, and equations.
- Calculus: Limits, derivatives, integrals, and their applications.
- Statistics and Probability: Measures of central tendency, dispersion, probability theory, and distributions.
This section aims to test the candidate's analytical and numerical abilities, ensuring a strong foundation in mathematical principles.
-
Science
The Science section is divided into three subsections: Physics, Chemistry, and Biology. Each subsection covers key topics relevant to the field:
- Physics: Mechanics, electricity and magnetism, optics, thermodynamics, and modern physics. Topics include Newton’s laws, work, energy, power, electric circuits, wave optics, and quantum mechanics.
- Chemistry: Physical chemistry (states of matter, thermodynamics, chemical kinetics), organic chemistry (hydrocarbons, functional groups, biomolecules), and inorganic chemistry (periodic table, chemical bonding, coordination compounds).
- Biology: Cell biology, genetics, human physiology, plant physiology, ecology, and evolution. Topics include cell structure, Mendelian inheritance, digestive and respiratory systems, photosynthesis, and environmental biology.
This section tests the candidate’s understanding of scientific concepts, experimental skills, and application of knowledge in practical scenarios.
-
English
The English section evaluates language proficiency, comprehension skills, and writing ability. Topics include:
- Reading Comprehension: Understanding and interpreting passages, answering questions based on the text.
- Grammar: Parts of speech, tenses, sentence structure, punctuation, and common errors.
- Vocabulary: Synonyms, antonyms, word meanings, and usage in context.
- Writing Skills: Essay writing, summarizing, and letter writing.
This section aims to assess the candidate’s command of the English language, critical thinking, and ability to articulate thoughts clearly and coherently.
-
General Knowledge
The General Knowledge section tests awareness of current affairs and basic knowledge of various fields. Topics include:
- Current Affairs: National and international news, important events, and developments in science and technology.
- History: Major historical events, movements, and figures.
- Geography: Physical geography, climate, and important geographical features.
- Politics: Structure and functioning of government, political parties, and policies.
- Economics: Basic economic concepts, economic policies, and financial institutions.
This section aims to ensure that candidates are well-informed about their surroundings and can critically engage with contemporary issues.
