Question 2

What is the pattern of CUET PG exam?

Accepted Answer

CUET PG consists of 100 multiple-choice questions to be answered in 90 minutes. The paper has two parts: Part A covers General Studies and Language Comprehension (25 questions), while Part B covers the domain subject chosen by the candidate (75 questions). Each correct answer fetches +4 marks and each wrong answer deducts 1 mark.

Question 3

Is CUET PG harder than university-specific entrance exams?

Accepted Answer

CUET PG tends to be harder than general university entrance exams because it tests postgraduate-level domain knowledge with a broader syllabus. Questions test conceptual understanding and application rather than just rote knowledge. Universities like DU and JNU that previously had their own entrance exams now use CUET PG, and those exams were known to be quite challenging.

Question 4

How many papers are offered in CUET PG?

Accepted Answer

NTA offers over 100 domain-specific papers in CUET PG covering subjects from sciences, humanities, social sciences, commerce, law, and more. Candidates select the paper that corresponds to their desired PG program. Some programs may require candidates to appear in multiple papers.

Question 5

What books are best for CUET PG preparation?

Accepted Answer

The best resources for CUET PG are standard postgraduate-level textbooks in your domain subject, previous year question papers from the specific university you are targeting, and CUET PG domain-specific guide books. For General Studies, a good current affairs source covering the last year and a standard reasoning book are sufficient. Attempting NTA-pattern mock tests regularly is essential to build exam temperament.
