2. The Test Booklet consists of 90 questions. The maximum marks are 360.
3. There are three parts in the question paper A, B, C consisting of Physics,
Chemistry and Mathematics having 30 questions in each part of equal weightage. Each
question is allotted 4 (four) marks for each correct response.
4. Candidates will be awarded marks as stated above in Instructions No. 3 for correct response
of each question. ¼ (one-fourth) marks 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.
5. There is only one correct response for each question. Filling up more than one response
in each question will be treated as wrong response and marks for wrong response will be
deducted accordingly as per instruction 4 above.
6. Use Blue/Black Ball Point Pen only for writing particulars/marking responses on Side-1 and
Side-2 of the Answer Sheet. Use of pencil is strictly prohibited.
7. No candidate is allowed to carry any textual material, printed or written, bits of papers,
pager, mobile phone, any electronic device, etc. except the Admit Card inside the
examination room/hall.
8. The CODE for this Booklet is A. Make sure that the CODE printed on Side-2 of the
Answer Sheet and also tally the serial number of the Test Booklet and Answer Sheet are
the same as that on this 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.
