KST- General Instructions during Examination

1. Total Duration of KST is 60 minutes.

2. The question paper consists of 2 parts. Questions 1-10 carry one mark each and
Question 11-20 carry 2 marks each.
3. The question paper may consist of questions of Multiple Choice Type (MCQ) and
Numerical Answer Type.
4. Multiple choice type questions will have four choices against A, B, C, D, out of which
only ONE is the correct answer.
5. All questions that are not attempted will result in zero marks. However, wrong
answers for multiple choice type questions (MCQ) will result in NEGATIVE marks.
For all MCQ questions a wrong answer will result in deduction of / marks for a 1-mark
question and / marks for a 2-mark question.
6. There is NO NEGATIVE MARKING for questions of NUMERICAL ANSWER TYPE.
7. Non-programmable type Calculator is allowed. Charts, graph sheets, and
mathematical tables are NOT allowed during the Examination.
