2. The time allotted to each section is 60 minutes (80 minutes for PwD candidates). As soon as you start answering a section the clock (displayed on the top right corner of the screen) will start. On completion of 60 minutes, the clock will stop, the particular section will be locked and the responses to section will be auto-submitted. You will then need to move to the next section and start answering the next set of questions. The same process will be repeated for all three sections. On submission of all three sections a summary of your answers will be displayed on your screen. For PwD candidates the process will be the same as above except that for each section the PwD candidate will have 80 minutes, with an option for submitting the answers of a section at any point of time after the completion of 60 minutes. Thus, PwD candidates will have the option to complete the entire test with all three sections, within a maximum of 240 minutes.
