Where marks usually go

  • Writing generally about Food Processing without directly resolving: “Elaborate the policy taken by the Government of India to meet the challenges of the food processing sector.”
  • Using facts/examples as decoration without linking them to the Discuss judgement required by the question

Value addition

  • Cause→mechanism→outcome flowchart or compact process diagram
