on.JECTIVE TYPE QUESTION PAPERS.
(il There arc four alternative,,; fur the answer to el'cry question. For each question for which a wrong
answer has been given by the candidate, one-third (0'33) of the marks assigned to that question
will be deducted as penalty.
(ii I If a candidate gives more than one answer, it will be treated as a wrong answer even if one of
the given answers happens to be correct and there will be same penalty as above to that question.
(jij) If a question is left blank, i.e., no answer is given by the candidate, there will be no penalty for
that question.
