Instructions
- DO NOT write anything else on the Test Booklet.
- This Test Booklet contains 120 items (questions).
- You will select the response which you want to mark on the Answer Sheet.
- In case, you feel that there is more than one correct response, mark the response which you consider the best.
- In any case, choose ONLY ONE response for each item.
- You have to mark your responses ONLY on the separate Answer Sheet provided.
- in the Answer Sheet. All items carry equal marks.
- Before you proceed to mark in the Answer Sheet the response to various items in the Test
- Booklet, you have to fill in some particulars in the Answer Sheet as per instructions sent to you with your Admission Certificate.
- After you have completed filling in all your responses on the Answer Sheet and the
- examination has concluded, you should hand over to the Invigilator only the Answer Sheet.
