Question Paper Specific Instructions
Please read each of the following instructions carefully before attempting
questions : : :
1. There are EIGHT questions divided in two Sections, out of which FIVE are to be
attempted.
2.
Questions no. 1 and 5 are compulsory. Out of the remaining questions, THREE are
to be attempted choosing at least ONE question from each Sections.
The number of marks carried by a question/sub question is indicated against it.
4. Keep in mind the word limit indicated in the question if any.
Wherever option has been given, only the required number of responses in the serial
order attempted shall be assessed. Unless struck off, attempt of a question shall be
counted even if attempted partly. Excess responses shall not be assessed and shall
‘be ignored. i
Candidates are expected to answer all the sub-questions of a question together. If
sub-question of a question is attempted’elsewhere (after leaving a few page or after
attempting another question) the later sub-question shall be overlooked.
