A separate Answer Sheet is given. It should not be folded or mutilated. A second Answer Sheet shall
not be provided. Only the Answer Sheet will be evaluated.
4.
Write your Roll Number and Serial Number of the Answer Sheet by pen in the space provided above.
5.
On the front page of the Answer Sheet, write by pen your Roll Number in the space provided
at the top, and by darkening the circles at the bottom. Also, wherever applicable, write the
Question Booklet Number and the Set Number in appropriate places.
6.
No ovetwriting is allowed in the entries of Roll No., Question Booklet No. and Set No. (if any) on
OMR sheet and also Roll No. and OMR Sheet No. on the Question Booklet.
7.
Any change in the aforesaid entries is to be verified by the invigilator, otherwise it will be taken as
unfair means.
Each question in this Booklet is followed by four alternative answers. For each question, you are to
record the correct option on the Answer Sheet by darkening the appropriate circle in the corresponding
row of the Answer Sheet, by ball-point pen as mentioned in the guidelines given on the first page
of the Answer Sheet.
For each question, darken only one circle on the Answer Sheet. If you darken more than one circle
or darken a circle partially, the answer will be treated as incorrect.
