According to the question paper from the previous year, candidates received 2.5 marks for each right response, one mark was subtracted for each wrong response, and no points were subtracted for questions that were not attempted. 

To be deemed eligible, candidates must achieve a minimum admissible percentile (MAP) and greater than the section-wise minimum admissible score (SMAS) in at least three sections.
