Maximum Marks: 120

Question paper format and Marking scheme:

1. This question paper has 30 questions of equal weight age. Each question is allotted 4(four) marks for each
correct response.

2. (one fourth) of total marks allotted to each question i.e., 1 mark will be deducted for indicating incorrect
response

3. No deduction from the total score will be made if no response is indicated for an item in the answer sheet.

4. There is only one correct response for each question. Filling up more than one response in each question
will be treated as wrong response and marks for wrong response will be deducted accordingly.
