| 5. | Review and check the paper | 30 mts |
As the total time is calculated on the basis of the number of questions required to be answered and the length of their anticipated answers, it would, therefore, be advisable for the candidates to budget their time properly by cutting out the superfluous words and be within the expected time limits.
4. Scheme of Options
(There will be no overall choice. However, there is an internal choice in 2 questions of 17 marks category in the Section A and one question of 8 marks in Section D.)
5. Weightage to Difficulty level of questions:
| S.No. | Estimated difficulty level of questions | Pecentage |
| 1. | Easy | 20% |
| 2. | Average | 60% |
| 3. | Difficulty | 20% |
A question may vary in difficulty level from individual to individual. As such, the assessment in respect of each question will be made by the paper setter on the basis of general anticipation from the group as a whole taking the examination. This provision is only to make the paper balanced in its weightage, rather than to determine the pattern of marking at any stage
