*Time Division
Participants from Class
3rd to 12th will be required to complete the
test between a minimum of 40 minutes and a maximum of 60 minutes.
Answer sheets cannot be submitted before the completion of 40
minutes. Participants should try to submit the answer sheet, with
maximum correct answers, at the earliest after the end of 40 minutes
to get the benefit of the third tie-breaker** rule. The invigilator
is expected to write the correct time in the appropriate space
provided in the answer sheet. As time is the third, not the
first/second tie-breaker rule, students are requested to focus on
achieving maximum correct answers in an optimum time.
**Tie-breaker
Each question may not carry the same mark. In case of tie-up,
preference will be given to the student who has attempted a greater
number of questions correctly. The second preference will be given
to the following respect: First computer related question and then
mental ability, reasoning and Mathematics. The third preference will
be given to the student, who has submitted the answer sheet earlier
than the other/s. Should the tie-up still exist, a telephonic
interview will be conducted with the participants.
