INSTRUCTIONS TO THE CANDIDATES

• Candidates are required to use Tab Key for beginning of any Para; rather than giving spaces manually. Every Para, where the space given without pressing the Tab Key, will be treated as a half-mistake.
• Candidates are Not required to repeat the passage, if he/she has completed the passage once and has time in his/her disposal, however they are allowed to revise and correct their mistakes and inaccuracies, if any, during the prescribed time.
• After every Punctuation mark, only One space is to be inserted, e.g. after comma, full stop, mark of interrogation etc. However, candidates are advised to follow the Question paper scrupulously in this regard.
• Any incomplete word arising due to any reason, will be treated as one full mistake
• Any irrelevant matter/numerical typed will be treated as a mistake.
