Paper setting instructions
Please go through these instructions thoroughly and follow the same pattern while setting the paper as the
students have been prepared according to this format.
Maximum Marks = 60 Times: 3 Hrs
The syllabus has been divided into three units. Paper setter will set three questions from each unit and one
compulsory question spread over the whole syllabus & consisting of short answer questions. The
compulsory question will be set as first question. The students will be required to attempt six questions in
all including the compulsory question. The student can attempt maximum two questions from each unit.
All questions carry equal marks.
