Exam pattern
Paper 1 — B.E. / B.Tech (Computer Based Test)
Four hours for PwD/PwBD candidates eligible for a scribe. Each subject has a Section A of multiple-choice questions and a Section B of numerical-value questions. Section B answers are entered as an integer using the on-screen keypad and rounded to the nearest integer. Correct answers score four marks; unanswered or marked-for-review questions score zero. Raw scores in each subject and in total are converted to NTA scores, and merit is prepared by merging NTA scores across all shifts of both sessions.
