Expected Weightage
The Common University Entrance Test (CUET) for विज्ञान और प्रौद्योगिकी (Science & Technology) follows a structured marking pattern with varying chapter-wise weightage. Below is an analysis based on the last three years (2022–2024):
1. CUET Science & Technology Exam Pattern (2022–2024)
- Mode: Computer-Based Test (CBT)
- Duration: 45–60 minutes
- Total Questions: 50 (40 to be attempted)
- Marks per Question: +5 for correct, -1 for incorrect
- Maximum Marks: 200
2. Chapter-wise Weightage (Trends from 2022–2024)
The Science & Technology section covers Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and Applied Technology. The approximate weightage distribution is:
| Subject | Weightage (%) | Key Topics (High Weightage) |
|---|---|---|
| Physics | 30–35% | Mechanics, Optics, Electricity & Magnetism, Modern Physics |
| Chemistry | 25–30% | Periodic Table, Chemical Bonding, Organic Chemistry, Thermodynamics |
| Biology | 25–30% | Human Physiology, Genetics, Biotechnology, Ecology |
| Technology | 10–15% | IT Basics, AI, Robotics, Environmental Tech |
