Side –2 of each Answer Sheet will have a pre-printed Test Booklet Code like A, B, C or D. The candidates are required to check that the Test Booklet Code pre-printed on Side-2 of the Answer Sheet is the same as printed on the Test Booklet.

Important Instructions For Marking The Responses :
(i) Out of four alternatives for each question, only one circle for the correct answer is to be darkened completely with blue/black Ball Point Pen only. For example Question No. 008 in the Test Booklet reads as follows:
Qutub Minar is situated in
(1) Delhi
(2) Mumbai
(3) Agra
(4) Bengaluru
The correct response to this question is (1) Delhi.
The candidate will locate Question No. 008 in the Answer Sheet and darken the circle (1)
(ii) Use Blue or Black Ball Point Pen to completely darken the appropriate circle, i.e. one circle for each entry.
The answer once marked is not liable to be changed. Use of pencil is strictly prohibited. If any candidate uses the pencil for darkening the answer sheet, his/her answer sheet will be rejected.
(iii) A light or faintly darkened circle is a wrong method of marking and liable to be rejected by the Optical Scanner. So, the circle should be properly darkened.
(iv) The Correct way of marking is shown
(v) If the candidate does not want to attempt any question he/she should not darken the circle given against that question.
(vi) Please do not fold the Answer Sheet and do not make any stray marks on it.
(vii) ROUGH WORK :
The candidate will not do any rough work on the Answer Sheet. All rough work is to be done in the Test Booklet itself.
(viii) CHANGING AN ANSWER IS NOT ALLOWED :
The candidates must fully satisfy themselves about the accuracy of the answer before darkening the appropriate circle as no change in answer once marked is allowed. Use of eraser or white/correction fluid on the Answer Sheet is not permissible as the Answer Sheets are machine gradable and it may lead to wrong evaluation.
If more than one circle is darkened or if the response is marked in any other manner except the ‘Correct Method’ shown above, it shall be treated as wrong way of marking and ¼ (one fourth) marks i.e. one mark will be deducted for each question.
(ix) Prior to handing over the Answer Sheet soon after the examination is over, the candidate must sign the attendance sheet as a proof thereof. The examinee is permitted to carry the Test Booklet.
