Guideline –
• Ensure to solve every question in series.
• Do not copy past answers, as it will lead to rejection of answer sheets.
• Make sure to write enough length answers of descriptive questions as per the weightage.
• Highlight more relevant case studies and practice examples.
• Submit answer sheet in standard format only.
• Make sure to be in time limits of submission to avoid rejection of submission after deadline. • In case of hand written sheet submission please be assure of sober writing and cleanliness of answer sheet.
• Do take care of numerical and diagrammatical representation up to the mark if applicable.
