1. Do not open the Question Booklet until you are asked to do so by the invigilator.
2. This Question Booklet contains 04 pages. After you are permitted to open the booklet, please
check all pages and report discrepancies, if any, to the invigilator.
3. There are a total of 28 questions carrying 84 marks. All these questions are of objective type.
Each Question has only one correct answer. Questions must be answered on the Back side of the
OMR by darkening the appropriate bubble (marked A, B, C, D) using ONLY a black/blue ink ball
point pen against the question number. For each question darken the bubble of the correct
answer. More than one answer bubbled against a question will be treated as an incorrect
response.
4. Since bubbles darkened by the black/blue ink ball point pen cannot be erased, candidates should
darken the bubbles in the OMR very carefully.
