5.2 Evaluation Scheme

While evaluating the answer, one mark is awarded for each correct answer. No deduction will be
made for incorrect answers and unanswered questions.

The candidate is expected to attempt all the questions to secure the highest mark. In other words
there is no choice among the questions.

The model questions are given in annexure 2. The candidate has to choose the correct answer and
shade the corresponding box in the answer sheet with HB pencil for that question.

Wherever writing is involved use “black ball point pen” only.

A specimen answer sheet is given in annexure 3. By taking photo copies of this specimen answer
sheet, you can practice yourself before appearing for the Common Entrance Test.
 During evaluation, the answer sheets are fed into a scanner. The shaded information are captured by
the scanner and the details are transferred to computer for evaluation. Even a small stray
Pen / Pencil mark on the sheet will be captured by the scanner which may mislead the evaluation
process. When you wish to make changes in the answer, erase the previous shading completely and
shade the appropriate box. Shade the box fully so that alphabet printed inside completely
disappears. Improper shading and light shading are likely to be missed by the scanner which may
result in reduction of marks.

If more than one box is shaded for a question, it will be treated as wrong answer.

The candidates are advised to shade the boxes with HB pencil as this will help them to make
changes if needed.

The candidates will not be permitted to take home the Question Book at the end of the
MBA / MCA / M.E / M.Tech / M.Arch Common Entrance Test.
