(ii) Each question carries four responses (answers), you have to select the response which you feel to be correct.
(iii) In c~se, you feel that there is more than one correct response· for a question, then mark the response, which you
consider the best. In any case, choose ONLY ONE response for each question. · ·
(iv) There will be penalty for wrong answers. Choosing two responses will be considered as wrong answer. There will be no penalty for
leaving the questions unanswered. · .
