@ Vaishali: The pattern of OMR based papers for Executive programme has not been revealed by the institute. The ICSI will be conducting OMR based examinations for Cost and Management Accounting, Tax Laws and Practice and Industrial, Labour and General Laws for executive programme students who are covered under the new syllabus. It means that the descripttive type will be replaced by objective type questions. It is under offline mode only. So, there is no need to study each and every definition byheart in case of ILGL as options will be given and we need to choose the right one. So, just understand the concepts by reading once or twice diligently. In case of problem papers, it will be a mixture of both theory and practical problems. The practical problems won't be very lenghty as in case of descripttive type. So, don't skip any portion. Read everything because questions can be asked in between the lines. They have not specified about the negative marking also.

The format of OMR based exam for the executive programme papers have been uploaded in the website of ICSI. In the specimen of OMR sheet, you can see under the head Instructions for Candidate: There is no negative marking. On the top of the question paper, you can see: Attempt all questions. Each question carries 1 mark. There is no negative mark for incorrect answers.

ICSI is coming out with newer concept in the nature of exam pattern. Open book system, elective courses, OMR based exam etc. Only test of time and quality will prove whether such reform has been useful and meets the desired objective.
