The question paper will consist of 5 (five) sections of objective (MCQ) type questions. Section 1 is the general section and of 30 marks. There will be no negative marking in the general section. Sections 2 through 5 are of 50 marks each and will contain subject specific questions from Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics and Physics. It is in the interest of the candidate to attempt all sections. As the merit list for both the institutes is prepared with best 3 of the subject sections (in addition to the general section), and section with the worst score is omitted, attempting all sections will increase their chances of a better total score. The questions are designed to test candidates' subject comprehension and analytic ability. In the subject sections, for certain questions there will be negative marking for incorrect answers.
