Application Form. Get these checked by the Invigilator who will also sign on cover page.
12 Instructions for Marking OMR Answer Sheet
i) Read each question carefully and choose the most appropriate single answer from out of the
four available alternatives under each question.
ii) Mark your answer in the appropriate oval against the number corresponding to the question
you are answering. e.g. correct way to mark answer 20 is (C):
20. A B A D

iii) Wrong way is A B ✓ D A B D A B C D A B C D

13. Do not fold, mutilate, tear or wrinkle the answer sheet.
