Q:   What are the factors upon which CUET PG exam difficulty level depends?
A:

The CUET PG exam difficulty level is depicted in the range of moderate to high. CUET PG examination is conducted into various streams and master's subjects, therefore it is difficult to say the difficulty level of the examination subject wise. However, the difficulty level of the exam varies from subject to subject. 

Here are some factors upon which CUET PG examination level depends:

  1. First and foremost the exam difficulty level depends upon the preparation done by the appearing candidates.
  2. The level of questions aked by the exam authority during the examination. Some questions asked in the examination are highly miscellaneous, which increases the difficulty level of the question paper. 
  3. Difficulty level factors also depends upon the number of seats the participating university is offering, or whether the number of applicants for the particular subjects are high. Difficulty level also depends on the demand of the course among the students across the country. For example- MSc Mathematics course is highly popular among the BSc undergraduates, therefore the number of applicants for the same will be high, also the cut off of MSc Maths will be high of reputed/High NIRF ranking institutes.
Q:   Is the section A score considered by Jawaharlal Nehru University for CUET PG merit list?
A:

The exam pattern of CUET PG is such that, these 100 MCQ questions will be divided in two sections. Section will consist of 25 questions on Language Comprehension/Verbal Ability and Section B will consist of 75 domain-specific questions. While making the merit list of CUET PG courses by JNU (Jawaharlal Nehru University), they doesnot include the section A marks scored by the candidates. Therefore the final marks out which the CUET PG 2023 merist list is made are 300 marks.

The expected CUET PG Psychology cutoff for the SC category at BHU is likely to be in the range of 170-185 out of 300. This is based on past trends and the anticipated difficulty level of the exam, with SC candidates typically having a lower cutoff compared to the General and OBC categories.
