Marking Scheme

For Category I - 1 mark will be given for every correct answer. ¼ marks will be deducted for every wrong answer.

For Category II - Marking all correct options will yield 2 marks. For any combination of answers containing one or more incorrect options, the said answer will be treated as incorrect, and it will yield zero. For partially correct answers, i.e., when all correct options are not marked and also no incorrect options are marked, then the marks awarded will be = 2 x (no of correct options marked/total number of actually correct options)
