  1. You said those offering physics can take pencil and also will any working sheet be given to us

    Is there any extra time give to those offering physics and mathematics?

    • No working sheet will be provided for students, most times students use their reprint slip for this purpose.

      Secondly, no extra time for calculation subjects, so you must manage the time allocated to you
