right, with a thin perforation in between, length wise. Fill in all the entries on the left side
(Basic Data part) before beginning to answer the questions.
5. Filling BASIC DATA part (left side of the sheet).
The following boxes and appropriate bubbles should be filled in with black/blue ink ball
point pen.

paper the candidate is appearing (ie; Paper-I or Paper-II) in Box No. 1
ii. Version: The question papers are printed in two versions(Version A and Version B)
