## Upload PDF question paper

After adding the test you will start seeing the new option of 'Upload PDF question paper'. This option is useful for offline test as for offline test you don't need individual questions to be added or cropped. You sometimes just have a PDF question paper which you are conducting offline exam for and just need to add it for reference. So, with this feature you can quickly add the complete PDF question paper and create sections for questions and quickly create the offline exam.

Here, user has to select the section, subject, weightage, negative marking, type of question, from and to question. You can create multiple sections for the exam and decide weightage and negative marking for each section. Creating sections is useful for exams like JEE/NEET where marking pattern depends on the section like in NEET you have best of 15 or in JEE you have best of 10 etc.
