The minimum word count was 50 and there was no maximum word limit.

The programming theory had 10 questions where questions like "what will be the output?" and other basic theoretical questions were asked.
For the coding section, you had to write a program in C language within 20 mins.
The programs were relatively simple ones.

Tips: Make sure your grammar and sentence building abilities are upto the mark.
For the quants section, be clear with the basics of all the concepts and remember the general formulas.
