BOOKLET CODE
INSTRUCTIONS
1. You have opted for English as medium of Question Paper. This Test Booklet contains seventy five (20 Part6A'+25 Part 'B' + 30 Part 'C') Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs). You are required to answer a maximum of 1 5 , 2 0 and 20 questions from-part 'A' 'By and 'C' respectively. If more than required number of questions are answered, only first 15, 20 and 20 questions in Parts 'A' 'B' and 'C' respectively, will be taken up for evaluation. Answer sheet has been provided separately. Before you start filling up your particulars, please ensure that the booklet contains requisite number of pages and that these are not tom or mutilated. If it is so, you may request the Invigilator to change the booklet. Likewise, check the answer sheet also. Sheets for rough work have been appended to tht: test booklet. Write your Roll No., Name, Your address and Serial Number of this Test Booklet on the Answer sheet in the space provided on the side 1 of Answer sheet. Also put your signatures in the space identified. You must darken the appropriate circles with a pencil related to Roll Number, Subiect Code, Booklet Code and Centre Code on the OMR answer sheet. It is the on sole responsibilitv of the candidate to meticulously follow the instructions ~ i v e n the Answer Sheet, failinp which, the computer shall not be able to d e c i ~ h e rthe correct details which may ultimately result in loss, including rejection of the OMR answer sheet. Each question in Part 'A' carries 2 marks, Part 'B' 3.5 marks and Part 'C' 5 marks respectively. There will be negative marking @ 25% for each wrong answer. Below each question in Part 'A', 'B' and 'C' four alternatives or responses are given. Only one of these alternatives is the "correct" optipn to the question. You have to find, for each question, the correct or the best answer. Candidates found copvina or resorting to any unfair means are liable to be disqualified from t h s and future examinations. Candidate should not write anything anywhere except on answer sheet or sheets for rough work. After the test is over, you MUST hand over the Test Booklet and the answer sheet (OMR) to the invigilator. Use of calculator is not permitted.
