Q.1 to Q.25 (25 questions) carry one mark each (sub-total 25 marks). Q.26 to
Q.55 (30 questions) carry two marks each (sub-total 60 marks). Questions
Q.56 - Q.65 belong to General Aptitude (GA). Questions Q.56 - Q.60 (5
questions) carry 1 mark each (sub-total 5 marks) and questions Q.61 - Q.65 (5
questions) carry 2-marks each (sub-total 10 marks).
Questions Q.48 - Q.51 (2 pairs) are common data questions. and Qquestion
pairs (Q.52, Q.53) and (Q.54, Q.55) are linked answer questions. The answer
to the second question of the linked answer questions depends on the answer
to the first question of the pair. If the first question in the linked pair is wrongly
answered or is unattempted, then the answer to the second question in the
pair will not be evaluated.
Questions on Engineering Mathematics will carry about 15% of the total marks
(excluding General Aptitude section) in all the papers bearing the codes AG,
BT, CE, CH, CS, EC, EE, IN, ME, MN, MT and PI.
