evaluation shall be given only after ensuring that there is no significant variation in the
marking of individual evaluators.

correctly and clearly indicated. It should merely be a line. Same is with the X for
incorrect answer.)

12. While evaluating the answer books if the answer is found to be totally incorrect, it should
be marked as cross (X) and awarded zero (0)Marks.
