GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
• This test contains 30 questions divided into two sections, Section-A consists of 20 Multiple Choice Questions and Section-B consists of
10 Numerical Value Answer Questions. For each Multiple Choice Question of Section-A only one option is correct. Darken the correct
circle/ bubble in the Response Grid provided. And for each Numeric Value Answer Questions of Section-B fill the appropriate numeric
value in the box provided in the response grid.
• Each correct answer will get you 4 marks and 1 mark shall be deduced for each incorrect answer of Section-A. Zero mark will be deducted
for each incorrect answer of Section-B. Keep a timer in front of you and stop immediately at the end of 60 min.
• After completing the sheet check your answers with the solution booklet and complete the Result Grid. Finally spend time to analyse
your performance and revise the areas which emerge out as weak in your evaluation.
