Part-B (Total marks: 100; Maximum time: 1 hour)
Part-B consists of five questions to test design, drawing and writing skills. The questions in Part-B will be displayed on the computer screen, and the answers should be written in the answer book provided by the invigilator (NOT into the Computer). However, you need to tick the appropriate box on the computer screen to indicate that you have answered the same. In the case of PwD candidates availing the use of a scribe, assistance in attempting Part-B is not permitted, as the question is aimed at evaluating their drawing skill.
Part-B answer booklets will be collected at the end of the examination.
Part-B questions are mandatory.
The entire paper (Part-A and Part-B) must be finished within the stipulated time for each part.
