IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS
1. This Booklet is your Question Paper. DO NOT break seal of Booklet until the invigilator instructs to do so.

2. Fill your APRE Roll No. & Answer Sheet No. in the space provided on the cover page.

3. Please make sure that paper you received is of your class only.

4. The Answer Sheet is provided to you separately which is a machine readable Optical Response Sheet (ORS).
You have to mark your answers in the ORS by darkening bubble, as per your answer choice, by using black or
blue ball point pen.

5. After breaking the Question Paper seal, check there are 15 pages in the booklet. This Question Paper contains 60
MCQs with 4 choices (Subjects: Physics: 20, Chemistry: 20, Maths : 20)

6. Think wisely before darkening bubble as there is negative marking for wrong answer. Answer once marked by
pen cannot be cancelled.

7. Marking Scheme:

a. If darkened bubble is RIGHT answer: 3 Marks.

b. If darkened bubble is WRONG answer: 1 Mark (Minus One Mark).

c. If no bubble is darkened in any question: No Mark.

8. If you are found involved in cheating or disturbing others, then your ORS will be cancelled.

9. Do not put any stain on ORS and hand. It over back proper ly to the invigilator.
