9. CONDUCT OF ENTRANCE EXAMINATION:
 Centres of Examination:
 The Entrance Test shall be held at the centres as may be specified by the Board in
the cities of Srinagar and Jammu only;
 Centres shall be allotted by the BOPEE and the information regarding this shall be
provided to the candidates on the Admit Cards;
 The Test Centre once allotted shall not be changed under any circumstances;
 The medium of test will be English only;
 The Board shall not conduct another test in any circumstances whatsoever for
those candidates who fail to appear in the test on the scheduled date.
 Nature of Question Paper:
 It shall be the sole responsibility of the candidate to check the Question Booklet
before attempting to answer any question. Where a Question Booklet has any
missing page, blank page, missed question or damaged or defaced page, it shall be

22|P a g e
 the responsibility of the concerned candidate to bring it into the notice of the
concerned invigilator and get it replaced by a new Booklet of the same series. The
Question Booklet must have 120 questions. No complaint in this regard shall be
entertained by the Board after the conclusion of the examination;
 Para-medical CET Examination shall consist of Single Paper with four sections
comprising of English Physics, Chemistry and Biology with 120 questions with
time duration of 02:00 hours. The questions shall be multiple choice objective
types with one mark each. There will be 0.25 negative marks for each wrong
answer;
 The broad distribution of questions in different subjects shall be:-

Name of the Number Subjects No of Time

Stream of Questions Duration
papers
(12th based)Para- Single
Medical including (i) Physics 40 2 Hours
GNM, ANM & other 40
Diploma Courses (ii) Chemistry
2024
(iii) Biology 40

 The question paper shall be objective type containing multiple choice answers. It
contains several pages stapled together in one cover. The questions are based on
knowledge, understanding and application of the relevant subject that a student
of 10thstandard is expected to possess. All questions are compulsory. There are
0.25negative marks for every wrong answer. A candidate having scored less than
ten (10) marks in the Entrance Test or as may be fixed by the Board shall not be
considered for admission.
 The Candidates should not make any type of marking on the Question Booklet.
Paper for rough work is included in the Question Booklet.
 Each Question Booklet has four series, which are in alphabets i.e. A, B, C, D printed
on the cover page of the Question Booklet. At the end of the Entrance Test,
candidates can take the Question Booklets with them.

 Nature of OMR Answer Sheet:

 In order to maintain transparency of examination, candidates are provided
OMR(Optical Mark Reader) Answer Sheet having original copy and candidate’s
copy(Annexure II). The candidates are directed to fold at perforation at the top of
sheet, tear it after the Test is over and separate original copy and candidate’s copy.
Finally they shall have to hand over the original copy to the invigilator and take
along with them the candidate’s copy;
 The OMR Answer Sheets are used in order to simplify the procedure of evaluation
and also to ensure highest accuracy. Each circle on the OMR Sheet has an
alphabetical or numerical value. So a small mistake in shading the round spot on
the circle may make a big mistake;
 The OMR Answer Sheets will be supplied to the candidates in the examination

23|P a g e
 hall;
 At the top of the OMR Sheet, there are few blanks which are to be filled in
carefully;
 Write Question Booklet Number, Booklet series, and Roll Number in numerical
and also darken the appropriate circles;
 Write the given certification statement in your running handwriting in English and
append your signature and left hand thumb impression at the space provided for
the purpose on your OMR Sheet. This certificate is to be authenticated by the
invigilator and superintendent of the examination centre;
 Complete the formalities and wait for the signal to start, tear and open the seal of
Question Booklet, begin reading and answering the questions;
 Recording of wrong Roll No. or Question Paper Series or its omission on the OMR
Answer Sheet shall be done by the candidate at his/her own risk. The Board shall,
in no case, entertain any complaint of the candidate regarding the same;
 Each question is followed by four responses i.e.1, 2, 3, and 4; of which only one is
correct or the most appropriate response. Indicate the correct response by
darkening the appropriate circle completely with black or blue ball point pen on
the Answer Sheet.
For Example
Q.11. Albert Einstein got the Noble Prize in:
1. Theory of Relativity 2. Photo Electric Effect
3. General Theory of Relativity 4.Laser

The correct response is(2).Locate the Question Number in the OMR Answer Sheet
and darken the circle under column(2)as shown below:
Ensure that the circle is completely darkened. Incomplete or faintly darkened
circle will be rejected by the Optical Scanner and consequently no marks/negative
mark will be awarded for the same.

If more than one circle is darkened or if the response is marked in any other
manner as shown at “B, its hall be treated as a wrong.
