Instructions for Candidates

1. Do not open the Question Booklet until you are asked to do so by the invigilator.
2. This Question Booklet contains 03 pages. After you are permitted to open the booklet, please
check all pages and report discrepancies, if any, to the invigilator.

Each Question has only one correct answer. Questions must be answered on the Back side of the
OMR by darkening the appropriate bubble (marked A, B, C, D) using ONLY a black/blue ink ball
point pen against the question number. For each question darken the bubble of the correct
answer. More than one answer bubbled against a question will be treated as an incorrect
response.
4. Since bubbles darkened by the black/blue ink ball point pen cannot be erased, candidates should
darken the bubbles in the OMR very carefully.
5. Questions 01 – 30 belong to Irrigation and carrying 03 marks each.
6. Unattempted questions will result in zero mark and also there is no negative marking for wrong
answers.
7. Calculator, charts, graph sheets or tables are NOT allowed in the examination hall.
8. Rough work can be done on the question paper itself. Rough Work on Answer sheet is strictly
prohibited otherwise answer sheet will be rejected.
9. Use of mobile is strictly prohibited during exam.
10. Before the start of the examination, write your name and registration number in the space
provided below using a black ink ball point pen.
