Some of the topics from Life Sciences were Animal Physiology, Plant Physiology and Human Physiology among others. The General Test was easy for me.
Ritwik: I took the Life Sciences paper for CUET PG. The topics from which the majority of the questions were asked included Genetics and Cell Theory. Even though the questions were from the syllabus, I found the questions on the tougher side. Rest, there were no challenges regarding the General Test or time management.

Afsha: My CUET PG paper was on Biotechnology. The paper was of medium difficulty level. Apart from Biotechnology topics, there were questions on Botany and Zoology as well. My preferred universities are the Central University of Gujarat or the Central University of Haryana and JNU.
Prachi: I had opted for the Zoology paper. The questions were mainly Calvin Cycle, Bryophytes, Pteridophyte, Biostatistics, Biotechnology, and Genetics among others. Although there were some surprise questions, overall it was a moderate paper. I am aiming to get through either JNU or the Central University of Haryana.
