Question 1Undergraduate professional degree courses (as conducted by WBJEEB)

Under the WBJEE counselling process conducted by WBJEEB, admission to undergraduate engineering courses in participating institutions is finally granted by which authority?

  1. The West Bengal Joint Entrance Examinations Board directly
  2. The individual institute after seat allotment through the centralised counselling Correct answer.
  3. The All India Council for Technical Education
  4. The affiliating university's admission committee

Explanation

WBJEEB conducts the examination and the centralised e-counselling, including choice filling and seat allotment. The actual admission, document verification and fee payment are completed at the allotted institute, which issues the final admission confirmation. WBJEEB itself does not enrol students.

Question 2Undergraduate professional degree courses (as conducted by WBJEEB)

A candidate qualifies in WBJEE and is allotted a seat in the first round of counselling but does not pay the seat acceptance fee within the stated window. What is the standard consequence under WBJEEB counselling rules?

  1. The allotment is treated as forfeited and the seat returns to the pool for later rounds Correct answer.
  2. The candidate is shifted automatically to the next preferred choice
  3. The candidate is barred from all subsequent rounds of that year
  4. The candidate keeps the seat but pays a doubled fee at reporting

Explanation

Seat allotment in WBJEE counselling is provisional and must be confirmed by paying the prescribed acceptance fee within the deadline. Failure to pay means the allotment lapses and the seat becomes available again in a later round. The candidate is generally still eligible for fresh allotment in subsequent rounds if the rules permit.

Question 3Undergraduate professional degree courses (as conducted by WBJEEB)

In WBJEE, the paper for Mathematics is conducted in which mode and with what marking scheme for a correct answer?

  1. Computer-based test, one mark with negative marking
  2. Computer-based test, two marks for each correct answer
  3. Optical mark recognition, four marks for each correct answer
  4. Optical mark recognition, one mark for each correct answer Correct answer.

Explanation

WBJEE is an offline pen-and-paper test using optical mark recognition sheets. In Mathematics, each correct answer carries one mark, with a fraction deducted for wrong answers. This differs from the higher weightage pattern used in some other national tests.

Question 4Undergraduate professional degree courses (as conducted by WBJEEB)

Which subject combination is tested in the WBJEE paper besides Mathematics and Physics?

  1. Computer Science
  2. English
  3. Chemistry Correct answer.
  4. Biology

Explanation

The WBJEE question paper covers Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry for engineering aspirants. Candidates seeking pharmacy courses answer the same three subjects. Biology is not part of the WBJEE paper, unlike medical entrance tests.

Question 5Undergraduate professional degree courses (as conducted by WBJEEB)

A candidate belongs to a reserved category and secures a rank in the general merit list as well as in the category list. In WBJEE counselling, how is such a candidate treated during seat allotment?

  1. Considered against whichever list has the better rank, chosen by the candidate
  2. Considered only against general seats, forfeiting category benefit
  3. Considered only against category seats regardless of general merit
  4. Considered first against general seats, then against category seats if not allotted Correct answer.

Explanation

In WBJEE counselling, a candidate who qualifies in both the general merit list and a reserved category list is considered for general seats first. If a seat is not secured there, the candidate is then considered against the reserved category seats. This preserves both avenues without double counting.

Question 6Undergraduate professional degree courses (as conducted by WBJEEB)

What is the validity period of a WBJEE rank card for admission purposes?

  1. For three consecutive academic sessions
  2. For two consecutive academic sessions
  3. Only for the academic session for which the examination was held Correct answer.
  4. Until the candidate turns twenty-one years old

Explanation

A WBJEE rank is valid only for the admission session corresponding to that examination year. Candidates who wish to seek admission in a later year must appear in WBJEE again. The rank is not carried forward across sessions.

Question 7Undergraduate professional degree courses (as conducted by WBJEEB)

In the WBJEE Physics section, a question offers four options and the candidate marks more than one option on the OMR sheet. Under the standard evaluation rule, how is that response treated?

  1. It is treated as incorrect and the negative mark is applied Correct answer.
  2. It is evaluated on the first option marked
  3. It is treated as correct if one marked option is right
  4. It is left unscored with no penalty

Explanation

WBJEE uses OMR-based single-response questions where only one option is correct. Marking multiple options makes the response invalid and it is scored as wrong, attracting the applicable negative mark. No partial credit is given for a partially correct multiple marking.

Question 8Undergraduate professional degree courses (as conducted by WBJEEB)

Which body is responsible for laying down the rules and conducting the centralised online counselling for WBJEE-qualified candidates?

  1. Department of Higher Education, Government of India
  2. Council of Architecture
  3. West Bengal Joint Entrance Examinations Board Correct answer.
  4. National Testing Agency

Explanation

WBJEEB, a statutory body of the West Bengal government, conducts both the entrance examination and the subsequent centralised e-counselling. Other agencies listed handle different examinations or regulatory functions. This centralised counselling covers participating engineering, pharmacy and architecture institutions in the state.

Question 9Undergraduate professional degree courses (as conducted by WBJEEB)

A WBJEE candidate is allotted a seat in a later round after having accepted a seat in an earlier round. What does the counselling system generally require regarding the earlier accepted seat?

  1. The candidate must pay acceptance fees for both seats
  2. Both seats remain held until physical reporting at the institute
  3. The earlier seat is automatically cancelled when the upgraded seat is accepted Correct answer.
  4. The earlier seat must be retained as a backup throughout the session

Explanation

WBJEE counselling follows an upgradation model in which accepting a higher-preference seat in a later round cancels the previously accepted seat. A candidate cannot hold two allotted seats simultaneously. This keeps the seat pool accurate for other candidates.

Question 10Undergraduate professional degree courses (as conducted by WBJEEB)

Which of the following documents is essential at WBJEE counselling reporting to establish category eligibility for a reserved seat?

  1. A valid caste certificate issued by a competent authority in the prescribed format Correct answer.
  2. The higher secondary admit card
  3. A domicile certificate alone
  4. A character certificate from the school

Explanation

Reserved category claims in WBJEE counselling are verified through a caste or category certificate issued by a competent authority in the prescribed format. Without it, the candidate is treated under the general category. Domicile, admit cards and character certificates serve other verification purposes.

Question 11Undergraduate professional degree courses (as conducted by WBJEEB)

In WBJEE, what is the purpose of the 'mock seat allotment' stage shown during counselling?

  1. To test the candidate's document authenticity
  2. To let candidates preview probable allotments and revise their choices before final locking Correct answer.
  3. To decide the cut-off ranks for each institute
  4. To allot permanent seats that cannot be changed later

Explanation

Mock allotment is a trial run based on current choices and available data, allowing candidates to see likely outcomes. Candidates can then modify or reorder their preferences before the final locking deadline. It does not confer any binding seat.

Question 12Undergraduate professional degree courses (as conducted by WBJEEB)

A WBJEE candidate secures a rank but fails to register for counselling within the notified window. What is the usual outcome?

  1. The candidate is registered automatically and allotted a seat
  2. The candidate is allowed to register after all rounds with a fine
  3. The candidate's rank is transferred to the next year
  4. The candidate loses the chance to participate in that year's counselling Correct answer.

Explanation

Registration for WBJEE counselling is strictly time-bound and requires fee payment within the window. Missing it means the candidate cannot take part in that year's allotment process. The rank itself is not transferred to a later session.

Question 13Undergraduate professional degree courses (as conducted by WBJEEB)

Which institute-level test may a WBJEE-qualified candidate additionally face for admission to a B.Arch course in a participating institution?

  1. A group discussion and personal interview
  2. An aptitude test in architecture as required by the Council of Architecture norms Correct answer.
  3. A medical fitness examination
  4. A separate English proficiency test

Explanation

Admission to B.Arch requires qualifying in an aptitude test in architecture as prescribed under Council of Architecture norms, in addition to the entrance examination. This is a statutory requirement for architecture programmes. Group discussions and English tests are not part of the standard WBJEE architecture route.

Question 14Undergraduate professional degree courses (as conducted by WBJEEB)

In WBJEE counselling, what does the term 'internal sliding' refer to?

  1. Transfer of a candidate to a different university
  2. Refund of the seat acceptance fee
  3. Revaluation of the candidate's OMR sheet
  4. Movement of a candidate to another available seat within the same institute based on preference Correct answer.

Explanation

Internal sliding allows a candidate already admitted to an institute to move to another programme or seat within the same institute if vacancies and preferences permit. It is conducted by the institute under counselling rules. It does not involve inter-university transfer or fee refunds.

Question 15Undergraduate professional degree courses (as conducted by WBJEEB)

Which of the following best describes the eligibility requirement regarding domicile for WBJEE admission to state-quota seats?

  1. Candidates must satisfy the domicile or residency conditions prescribed for state quota seats Correct answer.
  2. Domicile is irrelevant for all seats
  3. Domicile proof is needed only for management quota seats
  4. Only candidates born in West Bengal are eligible

Explanation

State-quota seats in WBJEE counselling require candidates to meet the domicile or residency conditions prescribed in the rules. These conditions are specific and documented, not merely a matter of birth. Domicile requirements differ between state-quota and other categories of seats.

Question 16Undergraduate professional degree courses (as conducted by WBJEEB)

What is the maximum age limit, if any, prescribed for candidates appearing in WBJEE for engineering courses?

  1. There is no upper age limit for engineering courses in WBJEE Correct answer.
  2. Twenty-five years
  3. Twenty-three years
  4. Twenty-one years

Explanation

WBJEE does not prescribe an upper age limit for candidates seeking admission to engineering courses. The lower age requirement is specified, but older candidates are not barred. Age limits, where applicable, pertain to specific courses rather than engineering generally.

Question 17Undergraduate professional degree courses (as conducted by WBJEEB)

A candidate's WBJEE rank is declared, but the candidate's class twelve result is pending. How does WBJEEB handle admission in such a case?

  1. The rank is cancelled permanently
  2. Provisional admission may be allowed subject to producing qualifying certificates within the deadline Correct answer.
  3. The candidate is allotted a seat only in the final round
  4. Admission is refused outright until results are declared

Explanation

WBJEE counselling often permits provisional admission when the qualifying examination result is awaited, provided the candidate submits the required certificates by the notified deadline. Failure to produce them in time can lead to cancellation. The rank itself is not cancelled merely because results are pending.

Question 18Undergraduate professional degree courses (as conducted by WBJEEB)

In the WBJEE Mathematics section, what is the approximate negative marking applied for an incorrect response?

  1. One half of the marks allotted to the question
  2. One quarter of the marks allotted to the question Correct answer.
  3. No negative marking in Mathematics
  4. Full marks allotted to the question

Explanation

WBJEE applies a fractional negative marking, approximately one quarter of the question's marks, for a wrong answer in Mathematics. This deters random guessing while limiting the penalty. It is not a full-mark or half-mark deduction.

Question 19Undergraduate professional degree courses (as conducted by WBJEEB)

Which of the following is the correct order of steps a WBJEE candidate typically follows after the seat allotment result is published?

  1. Send documents by post before paying the fee
  2. Report to the institute first, then pay the acceptance fee online
  3. Wait for the next round before any payment
  4. Pay acceptance fee, then report to the institute for document verification and admission Correct answer.

Explanation

After allotment, the candidate must first pay the seat acceptance fee online to confirm the seat. Only then does the candidate report to the allotted institute for document verification and completion of admission formalities. Reversing the order or delaying payment risks losing the seat.

Question 20Undergraduate professional degree courses (as conducted by WBJEEB)

What is the role of the WBJEEB 'freeze' option during counselling?

  1. It requests a refund of the registration fee
  2. It signals that the candidate is satisfied with the current allotment and does not want upgradation Correct answer.
  3. It cancels the candidate's allotment permanently
  4. It defers admission to the next academic year

Explanation

Choosing freeze indicates the candidate accepts the current allotted seat and opts out of further upgradation. The seat is then retained subject to fee payment and reporting. Freeze does not cancel the allotment or defer admission to another year.

Question 21Undergraduate professional degree courses (as conducted by WBJEEB)

A WBJEE candidate with a physical disability seeks admission under the persons with disabilities category. What is generally required to claim this benefit?

  1. A recommendation from the school principal
  2. A self-declaration by the candidate
  3. A medical prescription for assistive devices
  4. A disability certificate from a competent authority meeting the prescribed benchmark Correct answer.

Explanation

Claims under the persons with disabilities category require a certificate from a competent authority confirming the disability meets the prescribed benchmark. Self-declaration or school recommendations are not sufficient for reservation benefits. The certificate is verified during counselling reporting.

Question 22Undergraduate professional degree courses (as conducted by WBJEEB)

Which statement correctly describes the relative weightage of subjects in the WBJEE paper?

  1. Physics carries the highest total marks
  2. Chemistry carries the highest total marks
  3. Mathematics carries the highest total marks among the three subjects Correct answer.
  4. All three subjects carry exactly equal marks

Explanation

In WBJEE, Mathematics has the largest share of total marks, followed by Physics and then Chemistry. The subjects are not weighted equally. This distribution influences how candidates allocate preparation time.

Question 23Undergraduate professional degree courses (as conducted by WBJEEB)

During WBJEE counselling, a candidate's choice list contains only very high-demand institutes. What is the most likely consequence of this strategy?

  1. The candidate will certainly receive an upgraded seat later
  2. The candidate may remain unallotted in early rounds despite a decent rank Correct answer.
  3. The candidate's rank will be improved
  4. The system will add lower-preference choices automatically

Explanation

Seat allotment depends on rank, availability and the choices filled. Listing only highly competitive institutes raises the chance of no allotment in early rounds even with a reasonable rank. The system does not auto-insert choices, and rank is never altered by choice strategy.

Question 24Undergraduate professional degree courses (as conducted by WBJEEB)

What does the term 'reporting' mean in the context of WBJEE counselling?

  1. Reporting the rank card error for correction
  2. Submitting the OMR sheet at the examination centre
  3. Physically appearing at the allotted institute with documents to complete admission Correct answer.
  4. Reporting the examination malpractice to the board

Explanation

Reporting refers to the candidate physically visiting the allotted institute with the required documents after accepting the seat online. It is where verification and admission formalities are completed. The term is unrelated to OMR submission or grievance filing.

Question 25Undergraduate professional degree courses (as conducted by WBJEEB)

A WBJEE candidate is allotted a seat in round one, pays the fee, and later does not report to the institute within the deadline. What is the standard consequence?

  1. The admission is treated as cancelled and the seat is released Correct answer.
  2. The fee is doubled as a penalty
  3. The candidate is automatically upgraded to a better seat
  4. The candidate retains the seat and reports in the next semester

Explanation

Even after paying the acceptance fee, the candidate must report to the institute within the notified deadline to complete admission. Failure to report leads to cancellation of the admission and release of the seat. The candidate is not automatically upgraded or allowed to join later.

Question 26Undergraduate professional degree courses (as conducted by WBJEEB)

In the WBJEE examination, what is the total number of questions asked in the Mathematics paper?

  1. 40
  2. 100
  3. 75 Correct answer.
  4. 50

Explanation

The WBJEE Mathematics section contains 75 questions, making it the largest section of the paper. This is a fixed pattern element that candidates should know when planning time allocation.

Question 27Undergraduate professional degree courses (as conducted by WBJEEB)

WBJEEB conducts the WBJEE examination for admission to which of the following categories of courses?

  1. Medical and dental undergraduate courses
  2. Law and agriculture undergraduate courses
  3. Undergraduate engineering, technology, architecture, and pharmacy courses Correct answer.
  4. Postgraduate engineering and management courses

Question 30Undergraduate professional degree courses (as conducted by WBJEEB)

Which of the following is the correct marking scheme for Category-I questions in WBJEE?

  1. One mark for a correct answer, no negative marking
  2. Two marks for a correct answer, 0.50 negative marking
  3. One mark for a correct answer, 0.25 negative marking Correct answer.
  4. One mark for a correct answer, 0.33 negative marking

Explanation

Category-I questions carry one mark each, and a wrong answer attracts a deduction of 0.25 marks. This category typically contains single-correct-answer questions.

Question 31Undergraduate professional degree courses (as conducted by WBJEEB)

What is the negative marking for a wrong answer to a Category-III question in WBJEE?

  1. 0.25
  2. 0.00
  3. 0.33 Correct answer.
  4. 0.50

Question 34Undergraduate professional degree courses (as conducted by WBJEEB)

A candidate belongs to the OBC-A category and secures a WBJEE rank. Which of the following statements about category certificates is correct?

  1. OBC-A candidates do not need to produce a certificate if they have a valid rank card.
  2. The certificate must be submitted only after seat allotment.
  3. Any OBC certificate from any state is accepted without verification.
  4. The OBC-A certificate must be issued by an authority in West Bengal and must be valid on the date of counselling. Correct answer.

Explanation

For WBJEE counselling, reserved category certificates must be issued by the competent authority in West Bengal and must be valid at the time of counselling. Certificates from other states are generally not accepted for state quota seats.

Question 35Undergraduate professional degree courses (as conducted by WBJEEB)

During WBJEE counselling, what does the term 'upgradation' mean?

  1. A candidate who has accepted a seat can opt for a higher-preference seat in a subsequent round. Correct answer.
  2. A candidate can request a change of examination centre.
  3. A candidate can convert from the general category to a reserved category.
  4. A candidate can change from one course to another within the same institute.

Explanation

Upgradation allows a candidate who has already accepted a seat to be considered for a higher-preference seat in later counselling rounds. If upgraded, the earlier seat is automatically forfeited.

Question 36Undergraduate professional degree courses (as conducted by WBJEEB)

A WBJEE candidate is allotted a seat in the first round of counselling but does not pay the seat acceptance fee within the stipulated time. What is the consequence?

  1. The candidate's rank is forfeited permanently.
  2. The allotment is automatically cancelled and the candidate becomes ineligible for further rounds. Correct answer.
  3. The candidate is considered for upgradation in the next round without paying.
  4. The candidate can pay the fee later with a penalty and retain the seat.

Explanation

Seat allotment is provisional until the acceptance fee is paid within the deadline. Failure to pay results in automatic cancellation of the allotted seat, and the candidate is not considered for further rounds unless fresh registration is allowed.

Question 37Undergraduate professional degree courses (as conducted by WBJEEB)

Which of the following best describes the 'choice filling' step in WBJEE counselling?

  1. Choosing the category under which to be considered.
  2. Selecting the language of the question paper.
  3. Selecting the examination centre for WBJEE.
  4. Listing preferred institutes and courses in order of priority for seat allocation. Correct answer.

Explanation

Choice filling is the process where candidates arrange their preferred institutes and courses in order of priority. The allotment algorithm uses this ordered list to assign seats.

Question 38Undergraduate professional degree courses (as conducted by WBJEEB)

In WBJEE counselling, what is the significance of the 'locking' of choices?

  1. It confirms the candidate's eligibility for reserved category seats.
  2. It allows the candidate to appear for a subsequent round of counselling.
  3. It finalises the order of preferences and prevents further changes. Correct answer.
  4. It reserves a seat in the candidate's top-choice institute.

Explanation

Locking finalises the filled choices; after locking, no modifications are allowed for that round. Candidates must lock their choices before the deadline for seat allocation to proceed.

Question 39Undergraduate professional degree courses (as conducted by WBJEEB)

A WBJEE candidate is allotted a seat in a government engineering college in the first round and wishes to participate in the second round for a better institute. What must the candidate do?

  1. Do nothing; the candidate will automatically be considered for a better seat.
  2. Surrender the allotted seat and pay a fresh registration fee for the second round.
  3. Withdraw from counselling and re-register after the second round.
  4. Pay the seat acceptance fee and opt for upgradation during the second round. Correct answer.

Explanation

To be considered for upgradation, the candidate must first accept the allotted seat by paying the fee and then choose the upgradation option. Automatic consideration does not occur without this step.

Question 40Undergraduate professional degree courses (as conducted by WBJEEB)

What is the purpose of the WBJEE 'seat acceptance fee'?

  1. To confirm the candidate's acceptance of the allotted seat and block it. Correct answer.
  2. To obtain a duplicate rank card.
  3. To pay the first instalment of tuition fees to the institute.
  4. To register for the counselling process.

Explanation

The seat acceptance fee is a token payment that confirms the candidate's willingness to accept the allotted seat. It is adjusted against the admission fee later and ensures the seat is not released.

Question 41Undergraduate professional degree courses (as conducted by WBJEEB)

A WBJEE candidate has a rank of 5000 in the general category. Which of the following factors most directly determines the institute and course allotted?

  1. The candidate's domicile district within West Bengal.
  2. The candidate's age at the time of admission.
  3. The candidate's performance in the class 12 board examination.
  4. The candidate's choice order and the availability of seats at the time of allotment. Correct answer.

Explanation

Seat allotment in WBJEE counselling is based on the candidate's rank, the order of preferences filled, and the seats available when the candidate's turn comes. Board marks and domicile district do not directly determine allotment within the state quota.

Question 42Undergraduate professional degree courses (as conducted by WBJEEB)

Which of the following is true about the WBJEE rank card?

  1. It is a provisional document that must be downloaded from the official website. Correct answer.
  2. It is sent by post to the candidate's registered address.
  3. It is valid for admission only if attested by a gazetted officer.
  4. It can be collected from the WBJEEB office only in person.

Question 43Undergraduate professional degree courses (as conducted by WBJEEB)

What is the eligibility criterion regarding the year of passing the qualifying examination (10+2) for WBJEE?

  1. Candidates must have passed within the last five years.
  2. There is no restriction on the year of passing.
  3. Candidates must have passed in the current academic year or as specified by WBJEEB. Correct answer.
  4. Candidates must have passed at least two years before the exam year.

Explanation

WBJEEB specifies that candidates must have passed the 10+2 examination in the current academic year or as per the notification. There is generally no provision for candidates who passed many years earlier unless specified.

Question 44Undergraduate professional degree courses (as conducted by WBJEEB)

A candidate has appeared for the WBJEE examination and secured a rank. Which document is essential to prove date of birth at the time of counselling?

  1. Class 10 admit card
  2. Aadhaar card
  3. Class 12 mark sheet
  4. Birth certificate or Class 10 board certificate Correct answer.

A WBJEE candidate has secured a rank in the general category but belongs to a reserved category and has not claimed reservation in the application. What is the consequence?

  1. The candidate's rank will be recalculated based on the reserved category.
  2. The candidate can claim reservation at the time of counselling with a valid certificate.
  3. The candidate will be considered only under the general category for allotment. Correct answer.
  4. The candidate will be automatically considered under the reserved category.

Explanation

Reservation benefits are extended only if claimed in the application form and supported by a valid certificate. Failure to claim at application means the candidate is treated as general category throughout.

Question 47Undergraduate professional degree courses (as conducted by WBJEEB)

Which of the following is the correct sequence for a candidate who has been allotted a seat in WBJEE counselling?

  1. Download allotment letter, report to institute, pay seat acceptance fee.
  2. Pay seat acceptance fee, download allotment letter, report to institute. Correct answer.
  3. Report to institute, pay fee, download allotment letter.
  4. Pay seat acceptance fee, report to institute, download allotment letter.

After allotment, the candidate must first pay the seat acceptance fee to confirm the seat, then download the allotment letter, and finally report to the institute within the stipulated time. This order is mandatory.

Question 48Undergraduate professional degree courses (as conducted by WBJEEB)

A WBJEE candidate is unable to produce the original category certificate at the time of counselling but has a photocopy. What is the likely outcome?

  1. The candidate may be allowed provisionally with a written undertaking to produce the original later. Correct answer.
  2. The candidate's candidature will be cancelled immediately.
  3. The candidate can produce the certificate at the time of admission.
  4. The candidate will be treated as general category without exception.

Explanation

WBJEEB may allow provisional consideration if the candidate submits a written undertaking to produce the original certificate within a specified period. However, failure to produce it later can lead to cancellation of the reserved seat.

Question 49Undergraduate professional degree courses (as conducted by WBJEEB)

In WBJEE counselling, what does 'internal sliding' refer to?

  1. Sliding of the counselling schedule to a later date.
  2. Movement of a candidate from one course to another within the same institute based on merit and vacancy. Correct answer.
  3. Transfer from one institute to another after the first semester.
  4. Changing from the general category to a reserved category seat.

Explanation

Internal sliding is a process where, after the initial allotment, candidates may be moved to a different course within the same institute if seats remain vacant. It is based on merit and the candidate's preference.

Question 50Undergraduate professional degree courses (as conducted by WBJEEB)

A candidate has a WBJEE rank and is allotted a seat in a self-financed institute. The candidate later decides not to join. What is the consequence regarding the seat acceptance fee?

  1. The fee is transferred to another candidate.
  2. The fee is adjusted against the next year's WBJEE application.
  3. The fee is fully refunded after deduction of a nominal processing charge.
  4. The fee is forfeited as per the counselling rules. Correct answer.

Explanation

If a candidate accepts a seat but does not join, the seat acceptance fee is forfeited according to the counselling rules. Refund policies are strictly governed by the notified terms.
