is strictly prohibited.
2. The test is of 3 hours duration.
3. The test booklet consists of 90 questions. The maximum marks are 360.
4. There are three parts in the question paper A, B, C consisting of Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics
having 30 questions in each part of equal weightage. Each question is allotted 4 (four) marks for correct
response.
5. Candidates will be awarded marks as stated in above instructions for correct response of each question. ¼
(one fourth) marks will be deducted for indicating incorrect response of each question. There is no negative
marking for unattampted questions.
6. There is only one correct response for each question. Filling up more than one response in any question will
be treated as wrong response and marks for wrong response will be deducted accordingly as per above
instructions.
7. No candidate is allowed to carry any textual material, printed or written, bits of papers, paper, mobile
phone, any electronic device, etc., except the Admit Card inside the examination hall/room.
