. Answer to each question will be evaluated according to the following marking chosen.
Full marks : +4 If only (all) the correct option (s) is (are) chosen.
Partial Marks : +3 If all the four options are correct but ONLY three options are chosen.
Partial Marks : +2 If three or more options are correct but ONLY two options are chosen.
both of which are correct option.
Partial Marks : +1 If two or more options are correct but ONLY one option is chosen and it
is a correct options.
Zero Marks : 0 If none of the options is chosen (i.e. the question is unanswered.)
For Example : If first, third and fourth are the ONLY three correct options for a question with second
option being an incorrect option. selecting only two of three correct options (e.g. the first and fourth
options), without selecting any incorrect option (second option in this case), will result in +2 marks,
selecting only one of the three correct options(either first or third or fouth option), without selecting any
incorrect option(second option in this case) will result in +1 marks. Selecting any incorrect option(s)
(second option in this case). with our without selection of any correct option(s) will result in –2 marks.

SECTION 1 (Maximum Marks: 24)
• This section contains SIX (06) questions.
• Each question has FOUR options for correct answer(s). ONE OR MORE THAN ONE of these four
option(s) is (are) correct option(s).
• For each question, choose the correct option(s) to answer the question.
• Answer to each question will be evaluated according to the following marking scheme:
Full Marks : .... If only (all) the correct option(s) is (are) chosen.
Partial Marks : .... If all the four options are correct but ONLY three options are chosen.
Partial Marks : .... If three or more options are correct but ONLY two options are chosen, both of
which are correct options.
Partial Marks : .... If two or more options are correct but ONLY one option is chosen and it is a
correct option.
Zero Marks : 0 If none of the options is chosen (i.e. the question is unanswered).
Negative Marks : .... In all other cases.
• For Example: If first, third and fourth are the ONLY three correct options for a question with second
option being an incorrect option; selecting only all the three correct options will result in +4 marks.
Selecting only two of the three correct options (e.g. the first and fourth options), without selecting any
incorrect option (second option in this case), will result in +2 marks. Selecting only one of the three
correct options (either first or third or fourth option) ,without selecting any incorrect option (second
option in this case), will result in +1 marks. Selecting any incorrect option(s) (second option in this case),
with or without selection of any correct option(s) will result in .2 marks.
