Distribution of Marks
01. Paper I – 1 × 50 = 50
02. Paper II
2. Note down Examiner's Code Number and initials on the front page of each answer script.
3. Write off any numerals written wrong with a clear single line and authenticate the
alterations with Examiner's initials.
4. Write down marks of each subsection in a and write the final marks of each question
as a rational number in a with the question number. Use the column assigned for
Examiners to write down marks.
Example: Question No. 03
(i) …………………...................................
……………………................................ √ 4
……………………................................ 5
(ii) ……………………................................ 3
……………………............................... √ 5
…………………...............................…
(iii) ……………………............................... 3
……………………............................... √ 5
…………………...............................…

2. Then, check the answer scripts carefully. If there are more than one or no answers
Marked to a certain question write off the options with a line. Sometimes candidates may
have erased an option marked previously and selected another option. In such occasions,
if the erasure is not clear write off those options too.
3. Place the template on the answer script correctly. Mark the right answers with a '√' and
the wrong answers with a 'X' against the options column. Write down the number of
correct answers inside the cage given under each column. Then, add those numbers and
write the number of correct answers in the relevant cage.
1. Cross off any pages left blank by candidates. Underline wrong or unsuitable answers.
Show areas where marks can be offered with check marks.
2. Use the right margin of the overland paper to write down the marks.
3. Write down the marks given for each question against the question number in the relevant
cage on the front page in two digits. Selection of questions should be in accordance with
the instructions given in the question paper. Mark all answers and transfer the marks to
the front page, and write off answers with lower marks if extra questions have been
answered against instructions.
4. Add the total carefully and write in the relevant cage on the front page. Turn pages of
answer script and add all the marks given for all answers again. Check whether that total
tallies with the total marks written on the front page.
