The total duration for the exam is 3 hours; however you may have to be at the venue for approximately
4 hours including the time required for logging in, collection of the call letters, going through the
instructions etc. All tests except test of English Language will be provided in English and Hindi. You can
attempt any question within the time allotted to that test. All the questions will have multiple choices. Out
of the five answers to a question only one will be the correct answer. You have to select the most
appropriate answer and ‘mouse click’ that alternative which you feel is appropriate/ correct. The
alternative/ option that you have clicked on will be treated as your answer to that question. There
will be penalty for wrong answers marked by you. For every wrong answer marked by you, 1/4 of
the marks assigned to that question will be deducted as penalty.
The Scores of Online Examination will be obtained by adopting the following procedure :
(i) Number of questions answered correctly by a candidate in each objective test is considered for
arriving at the Corrected Score after applying penalty for wrong answers.
(ii) The Corrected Scores so obtained by a candidate are made equivalent to take care of the minor
difference in difficulty level, if any, in each of the objective tests held in different sessions to arrive at
the Equated Scores*
*Scores obtained by candidates on any test are equated to the base form by considering the distribution
of scores of all the forms.
(iii) Testwise scores and scores on total is reported with decimal points upto two digits.
Note : Cutoffs will be applied on each section as well as Total Score.
Please note that the types of questions in this handout are only illustrative and not exhaustive. In
the actual examination you will find questions of a higher difficulty level on some or all of these
types and also questions on the types not mentioned here.
