Question Paper
Step 1:
Multiple Choice Written Examinations
The written exam generally consists of Multiple Choice Questions
(MCQs). Short-answer-objective type questions and questions
based on diagrams/pictures/images depicting medical conditions
may be also included in the written exam. MCQs may be structured
in such a way that only one answer would be correct,
in such a case there would be no negative
markings. There may also be MCQs with multiple correct
answers. In such a case, there would be
negative marking for wrong answers chosen. Instructions
for each type of MCQs would be clearly given during the
examination time.
Indicate you answer by circling the appropriate letter on
the question paper and also by filling in the appropriate circle
on the computer answer sheet.
