You have opted for English as medium of Question Paper. This Test Booklet contains one hundred and twenty (20 Part A
+ 40 Part B + 60 Part C) Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs). You are required to answer a maximum of 15, 25 and 20
questions from part A, B and C respectively. If more than required number of questions are answered, only first 15, 25
and 20 questions in Part A, B and C respectively, will be taken up for evaluation.
Answer sheet has been provided separately. Before you start filling up your particulars, please ensure that the booklet
contains requisite number of pages and that these are not torn or mutilated. If it is so, you may request the Invigilator to
change the booklet. Likewise, check the answer sheet also. Sheets for rough work have been appended to the test booklet.
Write your Roll No., Name, Your address and Serial Number and this Test Booklet on the Answer sheet in the space
provided on the side 1 of Answer sheet. Also put your signatures in the space identified.
You must darken the appropriate circles related to Roll Number, Subject Code, Booklet Code and Centre Code on the OMR
answer sheet. It is the sole responsibility of the candidate to meticulously follow the instructions given on the Answer
Sheet, failing which, the computer shall not be able to decipher the correct details which may ultimately result in loss,
including rejection of the OMR answer sheet.
Each question in Part A carries 2 marks, Part B, 3 marks and Part C 4.75 marks respectively. There will be negative
marking @0.5 marks in Part A and @0.75 in Part B for each wrong answer and no negative marking for part C.
Below each question in Part A and B, four alternatives or responses are given. Only one of these alternatives is the
correct option to the question. You have to find, for each question, the correct or the best answer. In Part C each
question may have ONE or MORE correct options. Credit in a question shall be given only on identification of ALL the
correct options in Part C. No credit shall be allowed in a question if any incorrect option is marked as correct answer.
Candidates found copying or resorting to any unfair means are liable to be disqualified from this and future examinations.
Candidate should not write anything anywhere except on answer sheet or sheets for rough work.
After the test is over, you MUST hand over the answer sheet (OMR) to the invigilator.
Use of calculator is not permitted.
