Universities. A single Examination will enable the Candidates to cover a wide
outreach and be part of the admissions process to various Central Universities.

MODE OF EXAMINATION
CUET (PG) will be conducted in Computer Based Test mode only.
After the declaration of the CUET (PG) result by NTA, the respective Universities will declare the counselling/ admission schedule and merit list based on the CUET (PG) score and the other criteria of the respective University. For all admission-related procedures/queries, the candidates are advised to refer to the website of applied University.
STRUCTURE OF QUESTION PAPERS
The no. of questions will be 100 and divided into two parts
Part A: Consisting of Language Comprehension/Verbal Ability, General Awareness, Mathematical/Quantitative ability and Analytical Skills comprising of 25 MCQs.
Part B: Domain Knowledge comprising of 75 MCQs.
MARKING SCHEME & TIME
Time - 2 hours
Marking - Each question carries 04 (four) marks. For each correct response, candidate will get 04 (four) marks. For each incorrect response, 01 (one) mark will be deducted from the total score.
