Candidates who qualify in the preliminary examination will be called for the main examination.

The main examination will be of 200 marks, with a total of 20 questions. The question paper will be divided into two sections. Section 'A' will contain short answer questions to be answered in 125 words, while Section 'B' will have long answer questions to be answered in 200 words. Short answer questions will carry eight marks each, and long answer questions will carry 12 marks each. The final selection will be made solely based on the marks obtained in the main examination.
