Following the check, candidates will be asked to fill in their role number and name. The information will be cross-checked by the invigilator during the attendance process. Part-B answer copies will be collected at the end of the examination.
• In the case of PwD candidates availing the use of a scribe, their assistance in attempting Part-B is not permitted, as the question is aimed at evaluating their drawing skill.
