Instruction to candidates (as had been there in the past NSEP papers)
1.
In addition to this question paper, you are given answer sheet for part A and an answer paper for part B.
2.
On the answer sheet for part A, fill up all the entries carefully in the space provided, ONLY In BLOCK
CAPITALS.
Incomplete / incorrect / carelessly filled information may disqualify your candidature.
3.
On part A answer sheet, use only BLUE or BLACK BALL PEN for making entries and marking answers.

is correct. Choose the correct alternative and mark a cross (X) in the corresponding box on the answer sheet.

marks are 6 for each question, you get them when ALL correct answer only are marked.
6.
Any rough work should be done only on the sheets provided with part B answer paper.
7.
Use of nonprogrammable calculator is allowed.
8.
No candidate should leave the examination hall before the completion of the examination.

question paper.
PLEASE DO NOT MAKE ANY MARKS OTHER THAN (X) IN THE SPACE PROVIDED ON THE ANSWER
SHEET OF PART A.
Answer sheets are evaluated with the help of a machine. Hence, CHANGE OF ENTRY IS NOT ALLOWED.
Scratching or overwriting may result in wrong score.
DO NOT WRITE ANYTHING ON THE BACK SIDE OF PART A ANSWER SHEET.
EVALUATION PROCEDURE (NSEP) :

10.
Part 'A' Answers of ALL the candidates are examined .
11.
Part B is evaluated of only those students who get marks above a certain "cut off"marks in Part A. (e.g.
NSEP Total marks for Part A are 180. Students getting (say)100 or more than 100 marks in Part A are
identified and their Part B is evaluated.Thus "cut off" marks are 100 in this example.)
12.
PART B IS NOT EVALUATED OF ALL THE CANDIDATES.
