Sir in mains the questions to be write in 200 words,150 words,50 words. What is the
criterion to measure the length of an answer i.e how can we know that our answer reached
the word limit? ( - sh...@ on 20-Apr-2015)

1 Answer

Word limit should be followed in approximate sense. You must not waste your time
counting words and leaving out paper. Your speed in mains is very important. Try to do a
rough estimate in word document and that will give you an idea to approximately how long
the answers are expected. Keep in mind, this ignores the diagrams and demonstrations that
you use in the paper.
