will be given. A number as the answer should be entered using the virtual keyboard on the monitor.

2. Questions Q.1 – Q.25 carry 1mark each. Questions Q.26 – Q.55 carry 2marks each. The 2marks
questions include two pairs of common data questions and two pairs of linked answer questions. The
answer to the second question of the linked answer questions depends on the answer to the first
question of the pair. If the first question in the linked pair is wrongly answered or is not attempted,
then the answer to the second question in the pair will not be evaluated.

3. Questions Q.56 – Q.65 belong to General Aptitude (GA) section and carry a total of 15 marks.
Questions Q.56 – Q.60 carry 1mark each, and questions Q.61 – Q.65 carry 2marks each.

4. Questions not attempted will result in zero mark. Wrong answers for multiple choice type questions
will result in NEGATIVE marks. For all 1 mark questions, ⅓ mark will be deducted for each wrong
answer. For all 2 marks questions, ⅔ mark will be deducted for each wrong answer. However, in the
case of the linked answer question pair, there will be negative marks only for wrong answer to the
first question and no negative marks for wrong answer to the second question. There is no negative
marking for questions of numerical answer type.

5. Calculator is allowed. Charts, graph sheets or tables are NOT allowed in the examination hall.

6. Do the rough work in the Scribble Pad

Question No 1 to 25 (1Mark)

The Numerical Question type (i.e fill up the blanks) will be minimum 6 to 8 questions (6M to 8M)

Question No 26 to 47 (2Marks)

The Numerical question type will be 10 to 13 questions ( 20 M to 26M)

Question No 48 &49 a common data question will be numerical type and
Question No 50 &51 a common data question will be numerical type (8M)

Question No 52 & 53, 54 & 55 , a linked answer question compulsory objective type only,

Therefore NUMERICAL QUESTIONS Weightage will be 34 M to 42M

Therfore even though there is no negative mark for numerical type , the question can be answered only if we solve the problem.

Remaning questions 56 to 65 will be objective type (APTITUDE AND ENGLISH) only.
