Time Allowed : 60 minutes Maximum Marks : 200 Total Questions : 50 Number of questions to be answered : 40 
Kindly read the Instructions given on this Page and Back Page carefully before attempting this Question Paper.
 
Important Instructions for the Candidates : 
1. This Test Booklet contains 50 questions printed in English. Out of these, the candidate is required to answer 
any 40 questions. If a candidate answers more than 40 questions, the first 40 answered questions will be 
considered for evaluation. 
2. The OMR Answer Sheet is inside this Test Booklet. When you are directed to open the Test Booklet, take 
out the OMR Answer Sheet and fill in your particulars carefully with blue/black ball point pen only.  
3. Use only Blue/Black Ball Point Pen for marking responses.  
4.  The CODE for this Test Booklet is A. Make sure that the CODE printed on the OMR Answer Sheet is the 
same as that on this Test Booklet. Also ensure that your Test Booklet No. and OMR Answer Sheet No. are 
exactly the same. In case of discrepancy, the candidate should immediately report the matter to the 
Invigilator for replacement of both the Test Booklet and the OMR Answer Sheet. No claim in this regard 
will be entertained after five minutes from the start of the examination. 
5. Before attempting the question paper kindly check that this Test Booklet has total 16 pages and OMR 
Answer Sheet consists of one sheet. At the start of the examination within the first five minutes, candidates 
are advised to ensure that all pages of Test Booklet and OMR Answer Sheet are properly printed and they 
are not damaged in any manner. 
6. Each question has four answer options. Out of these four options choose the MOST APPROPRIATE 
OPTION and darken/blacken the corresponding circle on the OMR Answer Sheet with a Blue/Black Ball 
Point Pen.  
7. Five (5) marks will be given for each correct answer. One (1) mark will be deducted for each incorrect 
answer. If more than one circle is found darkened/blackened for a question, then it will be considered as an 
incorrect answer. Unanswered questions will be given no mark.

3. Use only Blue/Black Ball Point Pen for marking responses.  
4.  The CODE for this Test Booklet is A. Make sure that the CODE printed on the OMR Answer Sheet is the 
same as that on this Test Booklet. Also ensure that your Test Booklet No. and OMR Answer Sheet No. are 
exactly the same. In case of discrepancy, the candidate should immediately report the matter to the 
Invigilator for replacement of both the Test Booklet and the OMR Answer Sheet. No claim in this regard 
will be entertained after five minutes from the start of the examination. 
5. Before attempting the question paper kindly check that this Test Booklet has total 16 pages and OMR 
Answer Sheet consists of one sheet. At the start of the examination within the first five minutes, candidates 
are advised to ensure that all pages of Test Booklet and OMR Answer Sheet are properly printed and they 
are not damaged in any manner.
