Please check all pages and report discrepancy. if any. Write your registration number, your name and aame of the examination centre at the specified locations on the right half of the Optical Response Sheet (ORS). Using HBB pencil, darken the appropriate bubble under each digit of your registration number and the leters corresponding to your paper code, All questions in this paper are of objective type. ‘Questions must be answered on the ORS by darkening the appropriate bubble (marked A. B. C.D) sing HB pencil against the question number on the left kund side of the ORS. For each question darken the bubble of the correct amswer. In case you wish to change ax answer, erase the old answer completely. More than one answer bubbled against a question will be treated as an incorrect response. ‘There are a total of 65 questions carrying 100 marks Questions Q.1—Q25 will carry I-mark each, and questions Q.26 - Q.55 will carry 2-marks each. Questions Q.48 - 0.51 (2 pairs) are common data questions and question 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. Ifthe first question in the linked pair is wrongly answered or is un-attempted, then the answer to the second question in the pair will not he cvalnated. Questions Q56 — Q.65 belong to General Aptitude (GA). Questions Q.56 — Q.60 will carry L-mark each, and questions Q61 - Q.65 will carry 2Z-marks each. The GA questions will begin on a fresh page starting from page 12. Un-attempied questions will carry zero marks. ‘Wrong answers will carry NEGATIVE marks, For Q.1 - Q.25 and Q.56 - Q.60, % mark will be deducted for each wrong answer. For Q.26 - Q.51 and Q.61 —Q.65, % mark will be deducted for each wrong answer, The question pairs (Q.52, Q.53), and (Q.54, Q.55) arc questions with linked answers. ‘There will be negative mirks only for wrong answer to the first question of the linked answer question pair ie. for Q.52 and Q.S4, % mark will be deducted far cach wrong answer. There is no negative marking for Q.53 and Q.55. Calculator (without data connectivity) is allowed in the examination hall. Charts, graph sheets or tables are NOT allowed in the examination hall. Rough work can be done on the question paper itself.
