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

**3. Year-wise Trends in Weightage

2022 (First Edition)**

  • Physics: Dominated by Mechanics & Electromagnetism (~12–15 questions).
  • Chemistry: Focus on Organic Chemistry & Periodic Trends (~10–12 questions).
  • Biology: Emphasis on Human Health & Genetics (~10 questions).
  • Technology: Basic IT & Environmental Applications (~5–6 questions).

2023 (Revised Pattern)

  • Physics: Increased weightage on Modern Physics (Semiconductors, Nuclei).
  • Chemistry: More questions from Biomolecules & Polymers.
  • Biology: Biotechnology & Evolution saw higher representation.
  • Technology: AI & Robotics introduced (~3–4 questions).

2024 (Latest Trends)

  • Physics: Optics & Thermodynamics gained more weight.
  • Chemistry: Environmental Chemistry & Electrochemistry were prominent.
  • Biology: Ecology & Diseases had increased focus.
  • Technology: Sustainable Tech & Cybersecurity appeared.
