- Section B (40 marks): Medium-length answers (10–12 marks) on Block 4 (e.g., Sound Change Rules in Sanskrit or Grammaticalization in Modern Hindi). Prioritize Indo-European Comparative Method case studies.
- Section C (40 marks): Essay-type questions (20 marks each) from Block 5 (e.g., Language Policy in India) or Block 6 (e.g., Language Acquisition Theories). Focus on Bilingualism and Code-Switching with empirical examples.

3-Hour Exam Time Management Tips

- For Section B, spend 1 hour on two medium-length questions, prioritizing Block 4 (Historical Linguistics) if weak.
