1. Answers are to be given on the same OMR Answer Sheet provided for Part – I. 
 
2. There are 100 questions in this test.  All are compulsory. 
 
3. The question numbers 101 – 120 belong to Mathematics, 121 – 160 pertain to Science and 161 – 200 are 
social science subjects. 
 
4. Choose the correct answer from the options given for each question and darken the corresponding circle 
with black ball point pen in the OMR answer Sheet. 
 
5. Since the time allotted for this Question Paper is very limited you should make the best use of it by not 
spending too much time on any one question. 
 
6. If you do not know the answer to any question, do not waste time on it and pass on to the next one.  If time 
permits, you can come back to the questions, which you have left in the first instance and attempt them. 
 
7. Rough work can be done anywhere in the Question Booklet but not on the OMR Sheet/loose paper. 
 
8. Every correct answer will be awarded one mark. 
 
9. Please return the OMR Answer Sheet only to the invigilator after completion of the test.  You can 
retain the Question Booklets. 
 
10. English version of the Question paper will be considered as final in case of any dispute arising out of 
variation in translated version.
