Theory Paper
The question paper will consist of three groups. Group A will have six short type questions out of which three will have to be answered. Group Band C will have four questions each, out of which two questions will have to be answered from each group. Question number one will be compulsory.
Group-A
There will be only one question from this group, which will be compulsary. Six short type questions from topics in Group B and C will be asked. Examinees will be expected to answer any five of them.
