separately for making correct responses. The Answer Sheets (OMR) have been
devised to convert the answers given by the candidate directly into computer
data. The candidates must follow the instructions for filling up the answer
sheets. Please check that the answer sheet is clearly printed and does not have
smudge mark. Also, that it is not torn or mutilated.
2. Only BLACK
BALL POINT PEN is allowed for filling up the response
sheet.
3. Fill in each intended answer carefully and completely to cover
the appropriate circle with a dark mark as shown in the sample illustration.
Light or partial marks may not be read properly by the scoring machine. Do not
make any rough calculation/scribbling on any side of the answer sheet. You may
use blank pages provided in the booklet itself for your rough work or
calculations.
4. Mark one answer to each question only,
i.e., no question should have more than one mark in its answer column. If you

awarded to it.

make scoring by computer difficult, the candidate is advised to follow the
Instructions, which will be given on the Test Booklet and also on the answer
