Sample HR and Recruitment mock test questions

One question from each level, the way they appear in the test. A new set comes on the 1st of every month. Try it, then open the answer.

  1. FresherEngagement and HR Analytics

    A team of 50 had 22 working days in a month and 44 person-days of unplanned absence. What is the absenteeism rate?

    • 88%
    • 0.4%
    • 4%
    • 2%
    Show the answer

    Answer: 4%. Absenteeism = days lost / scheduled days x 100 = 44 / (50 x 22 = 1100) x 100 = 4%. Dividing by headcount alone ignores how many days each person was expected to work.

  2. Intermediate (1-5 years)Onboarding

    Why does HR collect the EPF declaration form (Form 11) from a new joiner?

    • To record the joiner's choice of income-tax regime for the coming financial year
    • To record the joiner's decision to opt out of ESI for the first six months of work
    • To record whether the joiner was a PF member before, with the UAN, so it is linked
    • To record the joiner's consent for the company to check their bank account
    Show the answer

    Answer: To record whether the joiner was a PF member before, with the UAN, so it is linked. The declaration tells the employer whether the person had a PF account before and gives the UAN and past details, so contributions go to the same account and are not split across new numbers. Tax regime choice is a separate declaration.

  3. Experienced (5+ years)Offers and Joining

    A CTC of Rs 9,00,000 a year has basic pay at 40% of CTC. The CTC includes employer PF at 12% of basic (no ceiling applied) and a gratuity provision at 4.81% of basic. What is the monthly gross salary?

    • Rs 71,400
    • Rs 69,957
    • Rs 75,000
    • Rs 66,357
    Show the answer

    Answer: Rs 69,957. Basic is Rs 3,60,000 a year. Employer PF Rs 43,200 and gratuity Rs 17,316 are costs, not pay, so gross = (900000 - 43200 - 17316) / 12 = Rs 69,957. Taking off the employee's own PF gives Rs 66,357, which is net of PF, not gross.
