General Instructions for the CBT

The total duration of the examination is 180 minutes for Paper 1 (B.E./B.Tech) and 210 minutes for Paper 2 (B.Arch and B.Planning). The countdown timer on the screen will display the remaining time. When the timer reaches zero, the exam will end automatically, and candidates will not need to submit their answers manually.

  • The question palette shows the status of each question (answered, not answered, or marked for review).
  • You can collapse or expand the question palette to maximize the question viewing area.
  • Use the 'Save & Next' button to save your answers and move to the next question.

Candidates can navigate between questions using the question palette or the 'Save & Next' and 'Mark for Review & Next' buttons. Sections of the question paper are displayed on the top bar of the screen, allowing candidates to shuffle between sections at any time during the exam. After answering the last question in a section, you will automatically be taken to the first question of the next section.

Answering and Reviewing Questions

For multiple-choice questions, select the desired option by clicking the corresponding button. You can change or clear your response at any time before saving it. To mark a question for review, click 'Mark for Review & Next'—these questions can be revisited later during the exam. Remember, answers marked for review and answered will be considered for evaluation.

Important Exam Rules and Tips

Candidates should adhere to all exam rules, including staying at their designated computer terminal, not using any unauthorized materials, and following all instructions given by invigilators. It's also important to manage your time effectively, ensuring you have enough time to review your answers.
