How to read the pattern
Each paper is 400 marks, which makes the PCM total 1,200 marks. Negative marking means wild guessing is penalised, so attempt only questions you can narrow to two options.
Questions follow the Class 11 and 12 syllabus. Past papers released by the board, if available, are the best guide to difficulty.
