The Paper-I
& Paper-II will consist of Objective Type, Multiple choice questions only. The questions
will be set both in Hindi & English.
Questions in both papers will be of Objective
Multiple Choice Type. Questions
will be set in Hindi and English in Parts-I,
II and III of Paper-I and Paper-II. There will be negative marking equal to one-third of the marks allotted to the question for each
wrong answer in Paper-I & Paper-II.
Candidates are, therefore, advised to
keep this in mind while answering
the questions.
Candidates are allowed to bring their own Slide–Rule, Calculator, Logarithm
Table and Steam Table for Paper-II only. They are not allowed for using
such aids for Paper-I.
Tentative Answer Keys of Paper-I and Paper-II will be placed on the website of the
Commission after the Examination. Candidates may go through
the Answer Keys and submit
online representations, if
any, within the time limit given by the Commission, on payment of Rs. 100/- per question
which is non-refundable. Representations on the matter received through any other modalities; i.e., letter, application, email, etc. will not be
entertained.
Marks
scored by candidates in Computer Based Examination, if conducted in multiple shifts, will be normalized by
using the formula published by the Commission through
Notice No: 1-1/2018-P&P-I dated 07-02-2019 and such
normalized scores will be used to determine final merit and cut-off marks.
The
dates of examinations indicated in the Notice are tentative. Any change in the schedule
of examinations will be informed
to candidates only through the website of the Commission.
There
shall be no provision for re-evaluation/ re-checking of scores of any stage/ paper(s) of the Examination. No correspondence in
this regard shall be entertained.
