THERE WILL BE PENALTY FOR WRONG ANSWER S MARKED BY A CANDIDA TE.
(i) There are four alternatives for the answer to every question. For each question for which a
wrong answer has been given by the candidate, one-third (0·33) of the marks assigned to that
question will be deducted as penalty. .
(ii) If a candidate gives more than one answer, it will be treated as wrong answer even if one
of the given answers happens to be correct and there will be same penalty as above to that
question.
( iii) If a question is left blank i.e. no answer is given by the candidate, there will be no penalty
for that question.
