This may be followed by a subjective part, which will require the writing of two essays – of around 500 words each; on two of the four or five topics indicated.
The subjective part may be completed in 30 minutes.
The consortium may choose to have a cut off in the objective part, for the evaluation of the subjective part (As it was originally planned in the previous year). This may mean that candidates scoring less than the cut off in the objective part may be completely eliminated from the final merit list.
As usual, there will be a negative marking of 0.25 marks for each wrong answer, with no negative marking for unanswered questions.
