Previous years’ question papers will also help students to understand the section weightage that they can expect in the examination.
Candidates must reach the examination centres 30 minutes prior to the commencement of the exam. Among all other things, Covid-19 protocols are to be strictly followed. Proper wearing of a face mask is mandatory in addition to social distancing. Note that candidates will only be allowed entry after producing the admit card.
