General instructions Questions should be clear, unambiguous, understandable and free from grammatical errors. Questions which are based on same concept, law, fact etc. and which generate the same answer should not be repeated under different forms (VSA, SA, LA and NP). Questions must be framed based on the contents of the prescribed text books.
