Question Papers: There are two question papers, each of three hours duration. Both the question papers consist of three separate sections on Chemistry, Mathematics and Physics. Questions in these papers will be of objective type, which are to be answered on a specially designed machine-gradable sheet (ORS- optical response sheet) using HB pencils only. Incorrect answers are awarded negative marks.

Subject combination for each paper and type of questions in each paper are given in the table below:
Subjects Types Of Questions Duration
paper 1 Physics,Chemistry,Mathematics Objective type questions with equal weight age to Physics, Chemistry & Mathematics 3 hours
paper 2 Mathematics – Part I
Aptitude Test – Part II & Drawing Test – Part III Objective type questions
Objective type questions
Questions to test Drawing Aptitude 3 hours
Requirement of papers for different courses is given in the table below:
COURSE PAPERS
B.E/B.TECH paper 1
B.ARCH/B. PLANNING paper 2
Scoring and Negative Marking:

There will be objective type questions with four options having single correct answer. For each incorrect response, one fourth (1/4) of the total marks allotted to the question would be deducted. No deduction from the total score will, however, be made if no response is indicated for an item in the answer sheet
