of 15 (Fifteen) in each subject.
Candidates are advised to read all 15 questions in each subject of Section B before they start
attempting the question paper. In the event of a candidate attempting more than ten questions, the first
ten questions answered by the candidate shall be evaluated.
3. Each question carries 4 marks. For each correct response, the candidate will get 4 marks. For each
incorrect response, one mark will be deducted from the total scores. The maximum marks are 720.
4. Use Blue/Black Ball Point Pen only for writing particulars on this page/marking responses on Answer
Sheet.
5. Rough work is to be done in the space provided for this purpose in the Test Booklet only.
6. On completion of the test, the candidate must hand over the Answer Sheet (ORIGINAL and OFFICE
Copy) to the Invigilator before leaving the Room/Hall. The candidates are allowed to take away this Test
Booklet with them.
7. The CODE for this Booklet is M1. Make sure that the CODE printed on the Original Copy of
the Answer Sheet is the same as that on this Test Booklet. In case of discrepancy, the candidate should
immediately report the matter to the Invigilator for replacement of both the Test Booklet and the Answer Sheet.
8. The candidates should ensure that the Answer Sheet is not folded. Do not make any stray marks on the
Answer Sheet. Do not write your Roll No. anywhere else except in the specified space in the Test Booklet/
Answer Sheet.
9. Use of white fluid for correction is NOT permissible on the Answer Sheet.
10. Each candidate must show on-demand his/her Admit Card to the Invigilator.
11. No candidate, without special permission of the centre Superintendent or Invigilator, would leave his/her seat.
12. The candidates should not leave the Examination Hall without handing over their Answer Sheet to the
Invigilator on duty and sign (with time) the Attendance Sheet twice. Cases, where a candidate has not
signed the Attendance Sheet second time, will be deemed not to have handed over the Answer
Sheet and dealt with as an Unfair Means case.
13. Use of Electronic/Manual Calculator is prohibited.
14. The candidates are governed by all Rules and Regulations of the examination with regard to their conduct in
the Examination Room/Hall. All cases of unfair means will be dealt with as per the Rules and Regulations
of this examination.
15. No part of the Test Booklet and Answer Sheet shall be detached under any circumstances.
16. The candidates will write the Correct Test Booklet Code as given in the Test Booklet/Answer Sheet in the
Attendance Sheet.
