Expected Weightage
The Common University Entrance Test (CUET) for Immunology has a specific marking pattern and chapter-wise weightage that can be analyzed based on past trends (2021-2023). Below is a detailed breakdown:
1. Marking Pattern (Last 3 Years)
- Total Questions : 50 (all compulsory)
- Total Marks : 250 (5 marks per correct answer)
- Negative Marking : -1 for each wrong answer (as per NTA guidelines)
- Duration : 45 minutes
2. Chapter-wise Weightage (Trends from 2021-2023)
The syllabus is derived from UG-level Immunology (NCERT-based + standard textbooks like Kuby, Abbas). The approximate weightage is as follows:
| Chapter | Weightage (%) | Expected Questions (Out of 50) |
|---|---|---|
| Innate Immunity | 10-12% | 5-6 |
| Adaptive Immunity | 15-18% | 7-9 |
| Antibodies Antigens | 12-15% | 6-8 |
| Immune Response (Humoral Cell-mediated) | 14-16% | 7-8 |
| Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) | 8-10% | 4-5 |
| Immunodeficiency Hypersensitivity | 10-12% | 5-6 |
| Vaccines Immunization | 8-10% | 4-5 |
| Autoimmunity Transplantation | 6-8% | 3-4 |
| Cytokines Complement System | 6-8% | 3-4 |
3. Key Observations (2021-2023 Trends)
- High Weightage Topics :
- Adaptive Immunity (~18%)
- Immune Response (~16%)
- Antibodies Antigens (~15%)
- Moderate Weightage :
- Innate Immunity (~12%)
- Immunodeficiency Hypersensitivity (~10%)
- Low Weightage but Important :
- MHC, Vaccines, Autoimmunity (~6-10%)
4. Difficulty Level Question Types
- Easy (30%) : Basic definitions, antibody structure, types of immunity.
- Moderate (50%) : MHC restriction, cytokine functions, vaccine types.
- Difficult (20%) : Immunological techniques (ELISA, Flow Cytometry), signaling pathways.
5. Preparation Strategy
- Focus on high-weightage chapters (Adaptive Immunity, Antibodies, Immune Response).
- Revise NCERT Biology (Class 12, Ch-8 Human Health Disease) for basics.
- Practice MCQs from Kuby’s Immunology past CUET papers.
