MAIN PAPER ECE-3

2014

ECE-Electronics& communication engineering

Duration: Three Hours

Maximum Marks: 100

Read the following papers instructions carefully:

1. There are a total of 65 questions carrying 100 marks. Questions are of multiple choice type or numerical
answer type. A multiple choice type question will have four choices for the answer with only one correct
choice. For numerical answer type questions, the answer is a number and no choices will be given. A
number as the answer should be entered by writing approximate value.
2. Q.1- Q.18 are of multiple choice type and carries 1 mark each. Q.19- Q.25 are of numerical answer type
and carries 1 mark each. Q.26- Q.38 are of multiple choice type and carries 2 marks each. Q.39- Q.47
are of numerical answer type and carries 2 marks each.Q.48-Q.51 include two pair of common data
questions which are of numerical answer type and carries 2marks each and Q.52-Q.55 include two pair
of linked answer questions which are multiple choice type and carries 2 marks each. 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 not attempted then the answer to the second
question in the pair will not be evaluated. Q.56-Q.60 are of multiple choice type and carries 1 mark each
and Q.61 Q.65 are of multiple choice type and carries 2 marks each.
3. Questions not attempted will result in zero mark. Wrong answers for multiple choice type questions will
result in NEGATIVE marks. For all 1 mark questions, 1/3 mark will be deducted for each wrong
answer. For all 2 marks questions, 2/3 mark will be deducted for each wrong answer. However, in the
case of the linked answer question pair there will be negative marks only for wrong answer to the first
question and no negative marks for wrong answer to the second question. There is no negative
marking for questions of numerical answer type.
4. Objective questions must be answered on Objective Response Sheet (ORS) by marking (A, B, C, D)
using HB pencil against the question number on the left hand side of the ORS. For Numeric data
questions answer must be marked in form of numerical value only. Each question has only one correct
answer. In case you wish to change an answer, erase the old answer completely. More than one answer
marked against a question will be treated as a wrong answer.

5. Calculator is allowed. Charts, graph sheets or tables are NOT allowed in examination hall
6. Do the rough works in scribble pad provided/ In case of offline it can be done on paper itself?
