Khushi: I appeared for the Life Sciences subject in CUET PG 2022. Although the difficulty level of the paper was moderate, it was difficult for me to manage the time since the questions were lengthy. 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.

Although the questions were on the expected lines and within the CUET PG syllabus but according to some students, a few questions were out of the syllabus and tricky. So, the JNU MCA entrance is not very tough but can be tricky. 

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.

Navin: I took the Geography paper today. Since I did my graduation in Geology, the exam was a little tough for me. The topics of questions were within the syllabus only but I found the Research and Statistics questions on the tougher side and they were time-consuming as well.

CUET PG is the gateway to around 80 postgraduate courses. The exam is being conducted in CUET PG test centres located in 250 cities across India and 13 cities abroad.
