• This is a hands-on test that evaluates the candidate’s innovative ability for a given situation with a provided set of material. Thus, the test also analyzes the material handling skill of the candidate.
• The model is judged on the basis of space visualization, creative use of provided material, colour scheme, composition of elements, and finesse of model, construction skill, and its overall presentation.
• These parameters will be then checked with the concept explained in a write-up for the constructed model. The language for the write-up must be English.

There will be ONE question paper of total THREE hours duration.
