This round had -2 as negative marking and +3 as positive marking. The round duration was 40 mins and had 30 questions. It consisted of questions from difficulty medium to hard.

All the topics were based on estimation, data handling, and how you can process and mine the data available taken from the sources. A few of the topics that my friend got are- “How many marriages occur in Chennai per year?”, “How many hours have been saved in traveling to work in India during the 3 months of total lockdown?”, etc.
