Selection Stages involve:

• A computer-based test (CBT): objective questions from the domain (Agriculture / Horticulture) and general subjects.

On the other hand, in the general / aptitude part, sections include Quantitative Aptitude, Reasoning Ability, General Awareness, and English.

DDA Mali Previous Year Paper 2025

Having access to previous years’ Mali exams (or related posts like “Gardener / Mali / Horticulture-domain govt tests”) can give candidates a strong edge. They help you understand actual question types, difficulty levels, time management, and often repeat patterns, especially in the technical/domain section. Use these to practise: work sets of 120 questions under timed conditions, then check strengths/weak spots, especially in the domain (agri/horticulture) portion, as that’s heavy in this exam.
