Before starting your preparation, it’s important to know the structure of the LIC AAO Mains Exam 2025. The exam is conducted online and consists of objective and descriptive tests. The objective test has five sections: Reasoning Ability, General Knowledge & Current Affairs, Data Analysis & Interpretation, Insurance & Financial Market Awareness, and English Language. For example, the Reasoning section has 30 questions worth 90 marks, meaning each question carries 3 marks. The total marks for the objective paper are 300, and the total duration is 2 hours.
The descriptive paper tests English communication skills like emails, reports, precis writing, and situation analysis. It is qualifying in nature, and its marks are not added to your final score. It will only be evaluated if you qualify in the objective test. One major advantage of the LIC AAO Mains Exam is that there is no negative marking, so you can attempt all questions without fear. However, to move to the interview stage, candidates must qualify in each section separately. The exam is conducted in English and Hindi for most sections, except the descriptive paper, which is in English.
The previous year analysis of LIC AAO Mains reasoning section has been done by experts to help candidates understand which topics carry more weight. By looking at past exams from 2019, 2021, and 2023, you can see that Puzzles & Seating Arrangement consistently have the highest number of questions, followed by Inequalities and Syllogism. Topics like Logical Reasoning, Input-Output, and Miscellaneous questions appear less frequently but should not be ignored. Focusing more on high-weightage topics will ensure you maximize your score in Reasoning Ability while managing your time efficiently during the exam.
