INSTRUCTIONS
1. All questions are of objective type having four answer options for each.
2. Category-1 : Carries 1 mark each and only one option is correct. In case of incorrect
answer or any combination of more than one answer, ¼ mark will be deducted.
3. Category-2 : Carries 2 marks each and one or more option(s) is/are correct. If all
correct answers are not marked and no incorrect answer is marked, then score = 2
number of correct answers marked actual number of correct answers. If any wrong
option is marked or if any combination including a wrong option is marked, the
answer will be considered wrong, but there is no negative marking for the same and
zero mark will be awarded.
4. Questions must be answered on OMR sheet by darkening the appropriate bubble
marked A, B, C, or D.
5. Use only Black/Blue ink ball point pen to mark the answer by filling up of the
respective bubbles completely.
6. Write Question Booklet number and your roll number carefully in the specified
locations of the OMR Sheet. Also fill appropriate bubbles.
7. Write your name (in block letter), name of the examination center and put your
signature (as is appeared in the Admit Card) in appropriate boxes in the OMR Sheet.
8. The OMR Sheet is liable to become invalid if there is any mistake in filling the
correct bubbles for Question Booklet number/roll number or if there is any
discrepancy in the name/ signature of the candidate, name of the examination center.
The OMR Sheet may also become invalid due to folding or putting stray marks on it
or any damage to it. The consequence of such invalidation due to incorrect marking or
careless handling by the candidate will be the sole responsibility of candidate.
9. Candidates are not allowed to carry any written or printed material, calculator, pen,
log-table, wristwatch, any communication device like mobile phones, bluetooth etc.
inside the examination hall. Any candidate found with such prohibited items will be
reported against and his/her candidature will be summarily cancelled.
10. Rough work must be done on the Question Booklet itself. Additional blank pages are
given in the Question Booklet for rough work.
11. Hand over the OMR Sheet to the invigilator before leaving the Examination Hall.
12. Candidates are allowed to take the Question Booklet after Examination is over.
