Tips for attempting paper

When you reach examination hall, sit on your chair (chair with your roll number). Exam stress is common but it

should not overcome you. Be confident and bold. Have no fear on your face. Think that you are fully prepared (no

matter how much you are prepared) and you are going to do very well in your paper. Answer-sheets are given to

students before the question papers so that student can write his name and roll number on it. If both answer and

question are given together, do not open question paper before your Invigilator (man on duty in exam hall) says.

1. Write your name, roll number and subject name on your answer sheet and any other information asked in

the table on the top of answer-sheet. (For computer sensitive answer, you have to fill the blocks for writing

name and roll number etc. Method is shown in last of this topic)
