Commenting 4 years late LOL
Hey, Vishal Gaur here, from India. READ TILL THE END
In schools and colleges we get around 3 hours in final examination (EXAM OF THE YEAR) in general, depends, some are 2 hours 30 minutes and some are 1 hour 30 minutes. All depends on total number of marks.
Now, 3 hours = 100 MARKS Question paper
Given that Questions are subjective types. The questions comprise of World's toughest questions esp. when it comes to Mathematics and the total number of questions are like 40-50 in standard format. Top scorer usually scores a 100/100 and if not, somewhere in between 95/100 and 99/100.
Lowest scorers range from anywhere 0 to 5.
MUST READ BELOW
Now, MCQ, MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTIONS. Whose answers are already provided with the options.
They are generally not associated in schools and colleges as we push students to solve the whole question but for Government job MCQ is must to crack related to various technical and non technical examinations in various fields.
MCQ pattern.
Preliminary test:
100 questions
Time: 60 minutes
is it less? No!
students generally who score less than 82/100 are considered as FAIL and 82 and above as pass (depending on percentile that is calculated from the score of TOPPER and then the number of candidates required for the job opening). Number of candidates required is usually less and that causes 80+ marks to be a compulsion if you need a job.
1 correct answer = 1 mark
1 incorrect = -0.25 mark
students who clear this exam do sit in Mains exam or second round for further filtration
200 questions=120 minutes
questions are of high standard and person who scored 98/100 with 0 incorrect and 98 correct answers within 60 minutes manages to score 130 correct within 120 minutes (given that incorrect are 0, if not, number of correct answers increases and it usually does).
SO THE TIME YOU'RE PROVIDING IS ALMOST SIX (6) TIMES THAN REQUIRED AS PER INDIAN STANDARDS.
