 How to fill up the information on the OMR Response Sheet
(Examination Answer Sheet)
1. Write your complete Enrolment No. in 9 digits. This should correspond to the
enrolment number indicated by you on the OMR Response Sheet. Also write your
correct name, address with pin code in the space provided. Put your signatures on
the OMR Response Sheet with date. Ensure that the Invigilator in your
examination hall also puts his signatures with date on the OMR Response Sheet at
the space provided.

2. On the OMR Response Sheet student’s particulars are to be filled in by blue/black

ball pen also. Use blue/black ball pen for writing the Enrolment No. and
Examination Centre Code as well as for blackening the circle bearing the correct
answer number against the serial number of the question.

3. Do not make any stray remarks on this sheet.

4. Write correct information in numerical digits in Enrolment No. and Examination

Centre Code Columns. The corresponding circle should be dark enough and should
be filled in completely.

5. Each question is followed by four probable answers which are numbered (1), (2), (3)
and (4). You should select and show only one answer to each question considered by
you as the most appropriate or the correct answer. Select the most appropriate
answer. Then by using blue/black ball pen, blacken the circle bearing the correct
answer number against the serial number of the question. If you find that answer
to any question is none of the four alternatives given under the question, you
should darken the circle with ‘0’.

6. No credit will be given if more than one answer is given for one question. Therefore,
you should select the most appropriate answer.

7. You should not spend too much time on one question. If you find any particular
question difficult, leave it and go to the next. If you have time left after answering
all the questions, you may go back to the unanswered question.

8. There is no negative marking for wrong answers.
