For every answer, students will have to create a separate PDF file which should not be greater than 7MB in size.

Students will get three hours to complete their question paper and one hour to upload the answers, said the committee’s co-convenor Kamal Tiwari.
Differently-able students will be given a total of six hours. Taking care of of the time, student are advised to use the uploading time only for uploading answers to avoid any network issues that may arrive later.
One extremely import step that students must follow is taking a screenshot of every question and answer. Moreover, if you receive the acknowledgement slip after submitting your answer then take a screenshot of it too because in any case of unsuccessful upload the varsity and college may ask you for the screenshot as proof.
The screenshots will come in handy in case of wrong evaluation. Students are also advised to take screenshots of the PDFs of answers. The university is providing one extra hour only for correct uploading of answers.
Lastly, once you submit all the PDFs , an acknowledgement slip will appear meaning that the papers have been submitted.
