  6. What kind of General Awareness questions could we expect in New India and United India Insurance exams?
    Will it be like those in bank exams,with focus on business & economy, or will it be like those in SSC exams, with focus on traditional G.K. like history, geography, politics, science etc.?

  7. there was no rule/instruction mentioned that after writing the answers on the answer sheet, you also have to mark the answers online. So i believe it would be counted as most of the appeared candidates forgot to save the answers.
