QUESTION PAPER SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS
Please read each of the following instructions carefully before attempting questions :
Answer must be written in ENGLISH only.
There are EIGHT questions divided in TWO sections.
Candidate has to attempt FIVE questions in all.
Questions no. 1 and 5 are compulsory and out of the remaining THREE are to be attempted choosing at
least ONE question from each section.
The number of marks carried by a question / part is indicated against it.
Answers must be written in the medium authorized in the Admission Certificate which must be stated
clearly on the cover of this Question-cum-Answer (QCA) Booklet in the space provided. No marks will be
given for answers written in a medium other than the authorized one.
Wherever any assumptions are made for answering a question, they must be clearly indicated. Diagrams
/ figures, wherever required, shall be drawn in the space provided for answering the question itself.
Unless otherwise mentioned, symbols and notations carry their usual standard meanings. Attempt of questions
shall be counted in sequential order. Unless struck off, attempt of a question shall be counted even if
attempted partly. Any page or portion of the page left blank in the Question-cum-Answer Booklet must be
clearly struck off.
