Hi Candidate,
The 70:30 pattern means there might be two sections in the paper in which one section carries 70% and other 30% marks weightage. Candidate needs to pass the both sections saparately and scoring good in just one section might not be enough.
One needs to attempt both the sections with equal efforts to pass the examination.
I hope it helps.
Thank you!
