In recent times there has been a growing need for objective assessment of knowledge and it is best done with good Multiple Choice Question Papers. The MCQ’s help in discriminating accurately between candidates on the basis of their knowledge of the topics being tested in shortest possible time. The most important function of any MCQ is to rank candidates accurately and fairly according to their performance in that paper.

Keeping in view the above objective, this work has been undertaken. It mainly contains the MCQ’s from the test papers of UPSC and State Public Service Commission as well as from PG Entrance Examinations in Homeopathic and Allopathic Institutions.

One should remember that the Multiple Choice Questions are not designed to trick or confuse any anyone but they are designed to test the knowledge in the subject concerned. Therefore, one should not try to look for the problems that aren’t there.

While attempting to solve MCQ's one should follow the five most important points:

1. Read the questions carefully and be sure that you understand it.

2. Mark your responses clearly, correctly and accurately.

3. Use reasoning to work out answers, but if you do not know the answer it is better to leave it, especially when there is a provision of negative marking for wrong answers.

4. Good marks can only be obtained by having a basic and wide knowledge in the subject concerned.

5. One should be aware of the time constrain while solving the MCQ’s.
