Paper setting instructions

Instructions for the Paper-Setter
Please go through these instructions thoroughly and follow the
same pattern while setting the paper as the students have been
prepared according to this format.
Maximum Marks = 60 Time: 3
Hrs
Weightage per unit = 20 marks (excluding over attempt weightage)
1. Question Paper will consist of ten questions.
2. Section A of question paper is compulsory, containing five parts each
of 2 marks covering the whole syllabus (short answer type- total 10
marks)
3. Set three questions from each unit I, II and III. Students will attempt 5
questions selecting at least one question from sections B, C & D. Each
question carries 10 marks. Questions of Section B will be from unit I,
Questions of Section C from unit II and Questions of section D from unit III.
4. In the question paper, distribution of the questions should be by
considering 30 % numerical part and 70 % conceptual.
