Bloom’s taxonomy of cognitive learning. A minimum of 20% marks should be allotted to 
higher order questions which require analyzing,  evaluating, complex problem solving or 
creating/synthesizing. There will be alternative for three questions; alternative questions must 
be prepared from the same unit with same structure covering same sub -domain and mark 
distribution.
