paper.
2. The enclosed paper contains 2 Sections. Section I (A) has 50 questions and is
compulsory for all candidates with each question carrying 1 mark.
Sections II and III pertain to Life Sciences (B) and Social Sciences (C). The candidate may
attempt questions in one of the two sections (II (B) or III (C)). Each division of Section II (B)
or Section III (C) has 100 questions and the candidate is to attempt any 75 questions in the
