           other than in the circle in the OMR Sheet, it will not be evaluated.    5.
6.         Read instructions given inside carefully.
7.         Rough Work is to be done at the end of this booklet.
                                                                                   6.
8.         If you write your Name, Seat Number, Phone Number or put
           any mark on any part of the OMR Sheet, except for the space             7.
           allotted for the relevant entries, which may disclose your              8.
           identity, or use abusive language or employ any other unfair
           means, you will render yourself liable to disqualification.
9.         You have to return original OMR Sheet to the invigilator at the
           end of the examination compulsorily and must not carry it with          9.
           you outside the Examination Hall. You are, however, allowed
           to carry the Test Booklet and duplicate copy of OMR Sheet on
           conclusion of examination.
10.        Use only Blue/Black Ball point pen.                                     10.
