2. The conduct of the corres courses is through despatch at regular intervals of test papers for subjects as applicable to the selected exam. These mock test papers are set by experienced DSs on the pattern of the actual exam and cover all imp aspects of subjects in a graduated manner. The final test paper in each subject covers the entire syllabus for the subject and is virtually a full dress rehearsal just before the actual exam.

Student offrs are reqd to answer the test papers in their own time under exam conditions and send the answer sheets to the USI of India indicating Subject, Test Paper No, Course Index No, Mob No and email add. Each answer sheet is then corrected by an experienced DS and returned to the offr along with detailed comments and personal guidance notes. Answer sheets will only be corrected which are recd before 30 days of the actual exam. Suggested answers to the test papers are also sent for guidance of students.

Study mtrl which may incl specifically prep maps for MH (prep for the USI of India by experienced DSs) designed to make the understanding of the prescribed mil campaign and biographical character and Minor Study easier, with reqd application of op art and relevance in current context, as prescribed in the syllabus, will be provided to the students taking the course.
