Navigation: Sectional timing — each section opens in turn and locks when its time ends.
- The same preliminary examination applies to all disciplines (Generalists and Specialists).
- Each section is separately timed (20 minutes) and must be qualified separately.
- Penalty: one fourth of the marks of a question is deducted for each wrong answer; no penalty for blank questions.
- The English Language section is in English only; Reasoning and Quantitative Aptitude are in English/Hindi.
- Phase II (Main) for Generalists has 5 objective sections (Reasoning, General Awareness, Quantitative Aptitude, English, Computer Knowledge; 50 each, 250 marks, 3 hours) plus a 30-mark descriptive English test — not covered by this mock, nor is the interview.
