Finance & Management (F&M) Paper Analysis:

The FM paper had to be completed within a total time duration of 2 hours. Out of the 2 hours or 120 minutes, 90 minutes were allocated for the descriptive portion of the paper, and the remaining 30 were allocated for the objective portion.

In the descriptive portion, you would have needed to write answers to 4 out of the 6 questions asked in the paper (2 out of 3 – 15 marks questions & 2 out of 3 – 10 marks questions). The word limit for the 15 marks questions was 600, and for the 10 marks questions, it was 400.

The objective portion consisted of 30 questions. 10 Questions of 1 Marks each & 20 Questions of 2 Marks each.

As I have already mentioned above, the overall difficulty level of the FM paper was moderate to difficult. As far as the difficulty level of the objective and descriptive portions go, the descriptive part was tougher than the objective part.
