PUMDET Question Papers, Sample Papers PDF: Download Free

The Presidency University Masters Degree Entrance Test (PUMDET) happens every year, and it’s used for getting into the MA and MSc programmes at Presidency University, Kolkata. You’ll find these postgraduate courses in many subjects like Hindi, English, Bengali, Maths, Economics, Physics, Chemistry and a few more, so students get a lot of choices. The university is known as a pretty respected place in West Bengal and also across India, so naturally many students want to study their PG here.

Because of that, the PUMDET exam stays quite popular, and each year around forty to fifty thousand students end up taking it. But the tricky part is the seats, since the number of seats for each programme is really small when you compare it with how many people apply. This makes PUMDET a tough and competitive entrance test for almost everyone who tries.

Going through and solving old PUMDET question papers can help students in the following ways while preparing for the entrance test. 

• Familiarisation with the test pattern and syllabus.
• Exposure to potential question types.
• Opportunity for self-evaluation and identification of weak areas.
• Development of speed and time management skills.
• Gauging the difficulty level of the exam over the years.

Before you start studying for the exam, it’s pretty important that you know the PUMDET syllabus and exam pattern in a clear way, otherwise you end up missing things. Since this is a postgraduate test, the PUMDET syllabus mostly has topics you already learned in your undergraduate classes. Sometimes they may ask a few questions from class 11 or class 12 parts of the subject too, but that doesn’t happen very often. The whole PUMDET exam pattern is shown in the table below, so you can check it and understand how the test is made.
