  2. Dear Sameer,

    If you prepare for these questions, it is reasonable to expect that the majority of the Internal Examination multiple choice questions can be answered. But you have to prepare for ALL the questions.

    Best wishes to you all

  5. Dear Sir,

    The sample question paper is very good. I have following doubts:

    1. Will the exam be an open book? If yes what reading material will be alloawed in the exam hall?

    2. Is it enough to go through the blog only, for the exam? Or do you recommend reading any other material?

    Regards,
    Sandeep

  7. Dear Sandeep and Sameer,

    I am sorry I am late to answer your questions. I was away from Pune at Chennai to attend my mother's funeral and did not have access to my laptop.

    Yes. The exam is an open book exam. YOu can carry any material you want to the examination hall. The question paper will be similar to the model question paper published in the blog. If you read the blog completely and also read the answers to the question bank questions, you will be able to do the examination well. Of course 30 % of the marks are for cases - here your comprehension and understanding of the subject will determine your score.

    All the best

    Ramakrishnan
