  Section 2: MSQ (Multiple Select Question): 15 questions. Each MSQ may have one or more than one correct choice(s) out of the four given. The following is the marking scheme:

  Full Marks: + 4 If only (all) the correct option(s) is(are) chosen and NONE of the incorrect options is chosen.

  Partial Marks: + 3 If all four options are correct but ONLY three options are chosen, and NONE of the incorrect options is chosen.

  Partial Marks: + 2 If three or more options are correct but ONLY two options are chosen, both of which are correct and NONE of the incorrect options is chosen.

  Partial Marks: + 1 If two or more options are correct but ONLY one option is chosen, and it is a correct option, and NONE of the incorrect options is chosen.

  Zero Marks: 0 If NONE of the options is chosen (i.e., the question is unanswered).

  Negative Marks: -1 In all other cases.

  Section 3: MCQ (Multiple Choice Question): 28 questions (3 marks each for the correct answer; 0.71 negative marks for incorrect answers). Each MCQ will have four choices, out of which only one is the correct answer.

Part-B (Total marks: 100; Maximum time: 1 hour)

• ●  Part-B answer booklets will be distributed 30 minutes before the start of the examination. Candidates will be asked to check the answer booklet for any irregularities. Following the check, candidates will be asked to fill in their role number and name. The information will be cross-checked by the invigilator during the attendance process. Part-B answer copies will be collected at the end of the examination.

• ●  In the case of PwD candidates availing the use of a scribe, their assistance in attempting Part-B is not permitted, as the question is aimed at evaluating their drawing skill.

• ●  Part-B questions are mandatory.The entire paper (Part-A and Part-B) must be finished within the stipulated time for each part.
