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. However, the exam difficulty level varies from subject to subject. Here are some factors upon which the CUET PG examination level depends:

First and foremost, the exam difficulty level depends on the preparation done by the appearing candidates. The level of questions asked 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. Difficulty level factors also depend upon the number of seats the participating university is offering, or whether the number of applicants for the particular subjects is high. Difficulty level also depends on the demand for 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, and 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.
