Each correct question will carry four marks. There will a negative marking of one mark for each incorrect answer.
The paper was broadly divided into four sections viz., Computer Awareness, General Knowledge- IT and Science Related, English Language & Comprehension and Mathematics. Overall, the level of difficulty of the paper ranged from moderate to difficult.
The pattern of the paper is as given below:

Name of the Section	Number of questions	Difficulty Level	Good Attempts
Computer Awareness	45	Moderate – Difficult	22 – 27
General Knowledge- IT and Science Related	38	Moderate	18 – 20
English Language & Comprehension	22	Moderate – Difficult	15 – 17
Mathematics	45	Moderate – Difficult	30 – 32

Computer Awareness
A majority of the questions in this section were from programming language. An in-depth knowledge of programming language was required to answer the questions in this section. Questions on application software and system software also formed a part of this section. The difficulty level of this section was moderate – difficult.

General Knowledge- IT and Science Related
Most of the questions in this section were from current affairs, which demanded knowledge of polity, business (activities of corporate sector) & economy (government schemes and programs), science and technology, sports and awards. There were a few questions on static G.K. A lot of questions required the knowledge of the year a particular event took place.

Apart from this, questions based on error spotting and phrase replacement were asked. The difficulty level of this section was moderate – difficult.

Mathematics
The section was dominated by questions on higher Mathematics, especially calculus, which included topics like differentiation and its applications and integration and its applications. This section had a good mix of questions from areas like matrices and determinants, co-ordinate geometry, progression (AP & GP), probability, trigonometry, logarithm, etc. The difficulty level of this section was moderate – difficult.
