What the advertisement covers
The 2025 online test combined 140 objective marks in 120 minutes and 10 descriptive English marks in 30 minutes. An interview carried up to 50 marks, bringing the combined maximum to 200.
The test names and marks come from the advertisement. The chapter choices and exercises below are examples of how to prepare. An official information handout may provide further guidance.
Use the AIC Management Trainee exam pattern to set your study time in proportion to the official marks and to check how the test is delivered.

Subject checklist
Test or skill | Suggested topics | First practice exercise |
|---|---|---|
Reasoning | Series, directions, ordering and short seating sets | Draw fixed constraints before testing arrangements. |
English | Passage questions, sentence correction and vocabulary in context | Underline the phrase that supports your answer. |
Awareness | Crop insurance basics, current affairs and insurance terms | Trace what a premium, sum insured, claim and exclusion each describe. |
Quantitative aptitude and computer literacy | Percentages, ratio, data interpretation and basic computer operations where applicable | Check the paper grid before allocating computer revision. |
IT professional knowledge | Databases, networks, operating systems, programming and security | Trace a short SQL query and explain the result. |
Actuarial professional knowledge | Probability, statistics, interest and risk concepts | Write down assumptions before calculating. |
Descriptive English | Essay and précis | Outline first and edit to preserve meaning. |
For essay practice, outline a short argument about weather risk and farm income. For the précis, condense a passage into its main claim and supporting logic without adding your opinion.
Where to spend your next study session
If an IT practice paper gives 40 marks to professional knowledge, its weighting differs substantially from the 2025 IT paper. For a Generalist paper, check that the same mock includes insurance awareness and a separate descriptive task.
Start with a short set and review the first point at which your method failed. If you understood the problem but made a calculation or reading error, redo it with a new question using the same underlying skill. If you could not start it, return to a basic lesson before adding a time limit.
In IT notes, add the exact query or network rule that caused the mistake. In Actuarial notes, pair each formula with its time unit and risk assumption.
Moving from topics to mixed practice
Check coverage. Give each named test its own row in your weekly plan. Identify sections you have yet to practise.
Separate speed and accuracy. Learn a method without a timer first. Then use a short timed set to see whether you can recognise it when questions are mixed.
Test transfer. Return to the same skill with unfamiliar wording. Review why your answer changed.
Use the appropriate stream rather than converting another discipline’s marks by a simple multiplier.
Balance professional knowledge with shared skills
If you chose Generalist, spend time switching between awareness, reading and calculations. Try explaining in one sentence how crop loss differs from a covered loss, then solve a short table-interpretation question. The two tasks expose different preparation gaps.
For IT, organise professional revision by problem type. Read a query and predict the result, trace where a request fails on a network, or explain an access-control decision. These are study exercises rather than a list of guaranteed questions.
For Actuarial, test the conditions behind a method. After a probability exercise, change whether events are independent and see which step changes. For interest, state the period and rate before calculating. Keep objective English and timed descriptive work in the weekly plan.
