After expert re-verification, the board has concluded that no answer in Part - A or Part - B requires any correction.
The original marking scheme, +1.0 mark for every correct answer and -0.25 negative mark for every wrong answer, therefore applies to the full 90 questions of Part - A and the full 120 questions of Part - B.
