    Duration: 3 Hours
    Number of Subjects: 27
    Sections: General Aptitude (GA) + Candidates Selected Subject
    Type of Questions: (A) Multiple Choice Questions (MCQ) (B) Remaining types: MSQ) and NAT Questions for testing these abilities: Recall, Comprehension, Application, Analysis, and Synthesis
    Number of Questions: 10 (GA) + 55 (subject) = 65 Questions
    Distribution of Marks in all Papers EXCEPT papers AR, CY, EY, GG, M.A. PH, XH, and XL
    General Aptitude: 15 Marks + Engineering Mathematics: 13 Marks + Subject Question
