The standard of the paper  was at par with those of previous years. The rubrics were 
                      clear and the questions were also clear and within the scope of the syllabus. 
                      However, questions 1 and 2 (still life and Nature Drawing) received more  attention 
                      than question 3 (life drawing) which was avoided by most  of the candidates than ever 
                      before. 
                      Candidates' performance  was slightly higher than those of the previous years.
