marks for each correct response.
6. Candidates will be awarded marks as stated above in instruction No. 5 for correct response of each
question. 1/4 (one fourth) marks of the total marks allotted to the question (i.e., 1 mark) will be
deducted for indicating incorrect response of each question. No deduction from the total score will be
made if no response is indicated for an item in the answer sheet.
7. There is only one correct response for each question. Filling up more than one response in any question
will be treated as wrong response and marks for wrong response will be deducted accordingly as per
instruction 6 above.
8. For writing particulars/ marking responses on Side-1 and Side-2 of the Answer Sheet use only Black
Ball Point Pen provided in the examination hall.
9. No candidates is allowed to carry any textual material, printed or written, bits of papers, pager, mobile

Read the following instructions carefully :
1. The candidates should fill in the required particulars on the Test Booklet and Answer Sheet (Side-1) with
Black Ball Point Pen.
2. For writing/marking particulars on Side-2 of the Answer Sheet, use Black Ball Point Pen only.
3. The candidates should not write their Roll Numbers anywhere else (except in the specified space) on the
Test Booklet/Answer Sheet.
4. Out of the four options given for each question, only one option is the correct answer.
5. For each incorrect response, ¼ (one-fourth) of the total marks allotted to the question (i.e., 1 mark) will
be deducted from the total score. No deduction from the total score, however, will be made if no
response is indicated for an item in the Answer Sheet.
6. Handle the Test Booklet and Answer Sheet with care, as under no circumstances (except for discrepancy
in Test Booklet Code and Answer Sheet Code), another set will be provided.
7. The candidates are not allowed to do any rough work or writing work on the Answer Sheet. All
calculations/writing works are to be done in the space provided for this purpose in the Test Booklet itself,
marked ‘Space for Rough Work’. This space is given at the bottom of each page and in 4 pages (Pages
20 – 23) at the end of the booklet.
8. On completion of the test, the candidates must hand over the Answer Sheet to the Invigilator on duty in
the Room/Hall. However, the candidates are allowed to take away this Test Booklet with them.
9. Each candidate must show on demand his/her Admit Card to the Invigilator.
10. No candidate, without special permission of the Superintendent or Invigilator, should leave his/her seat.
11. The candidates should not leave the Examination Hall without handing over their Answer Sheet to the
Invigilator on duty and sign the Attendance Sheet again. 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. The candidates are also required to put their left hand THUMB impression
in the space provided in the Attendance Sheet.
12. Use of Electronic/Manual Calculator and any Electronic Item like mobile phone, pager etc. is prohibited.
