PaperCode	Patterns of Question papers	Negative Marks for wrong Answer
CS, EC, EE, IN, CE, ME	Q.1 to Q.25: Will carry one mark each (sub- total 25 marks).	1/ mark will be deducted for each wrong answer. 3
	Q.26 to Q.55: Will carry two marks each(sub-total 60 marks)	2/3 mark will be deducted for each wrong answer.
	Q.48 through Q.51 (2 pairs) will be commondata questions. Each question will carry two marks	2/ mark will be deducted for each wrong answer. 3
	Question pairs (Q.52, Q.53) and (Q.54, Q.55) will be linked answer questions.The answer to the second question of the last two pairs will depend on the answer to the first question of the pair. If the first question in the linked pair is wrongly answered or is un-attempted, then the answer to the second question in the pair will not be evaluated. Each question will carry two marks	There will be negative marks only for wrong answer to the first question of the linked answer question pair i.e. for Q.52 and Q.54, 2/3 mark will be deducted for each wrong answer. There is no negative marking for Q.53 and Q.55.
	Q.56 to Q.60 : From General Aptitude (GA) will carry one mark each (sub-total 5 marks).	1/ mark will be deducted for each wrong answer. 3
	Q.61 to Q.65 : From GA will carry two marks each (sub-total 10 marks)	2/3 mark will be deducted for each wrong answer.
	All the papers bearing the codes CS, EC, EE, IN, CE, ME will contain few questions onEngineering Mathematics carrying 15 marks.
