CUET PG | CUCET EXAM


The CUET (PG) was introduced in the country for the first time in 2022 (The CUET exam was being conducted since 2016 but on a small scale, in 2022 it was centralized and many more universities were added). The CUET (PG) provides a single window opportunity to students seeking admission to Postgraduate Programmes in any of the Central Universities or other participating organizations (including State Universities, Deemed and Private Universities) across the Country. Delhi University became part of CUET-PG only in 2023.

Due to its nature of common entrance test, CUET provides a common platform and equal opportunities to candidates across the country. A single Examination will enable the candidates to cover a wide outreach and be part of the admissions process to various Central Universities. If a candidate possesses basic eligibilities, then he/she may appear this annual exam for master courses.

SCHEDULE
The CUET (PG) entrance exam is generally conducted in the month of March - April every year in CBT mode for admissions in the upcoming academic session. Merit list may be prepared by participating Universities/ organizations and afterwards may conduct their individual counselling based on the score card of CUET (PG) provided by NTA. Basic eligibilities for admission may vary with different universities/institutions and regularly published on their website. 

AGE LIMIT
For appearing in the CUET (PG), there was no age limit for the candidates. The candidates who had passed the bachelor degree/equivalent examination or appeared, irrespective of their age can appear in CUET (PG) examination. However, the candidates will be required to fulfil the age criteria of the University in which they are desirous of taking admission.

SYLLABUS
SYLLABUS OF CUET (PG) – LIFESCIENCE 
(Course Code SCQP17)

The syllabus of the CUET-PG Life-science is suggestive for reference. One need to read in-depth of the mentioned subjects.
1) Techniques: Principles and applications of chromatography, spectroscopy, microscopy, electrophoresis, centrifugation, blotting, PCR & radioisotope techniques
2) Chromatin structure and function: Organization of chromosomes in prokaryotes and eukaryotes, chromatin types, centromere, Telomere and concept of gene
3) Biochemistry: Structure and functions of proteins, DNA, carbohydrates, lipids & vitamins. Bioenergetics, Glycolysis, TCA cycle, Electron Transport System and ATP synthesis, oxidation and synthesis of fatty acid, membrane structure and function
4) Biotechnology: Recombinant DNA technology, principles of gene cloning, applications of biotechnology in medicine, industry and agriculture, animal & plant cell culture, environmental biotechnology
5) Microbiology: Diversity of microbes, bacterial reproduction, antimicrobial agents, significance of microbes in the industry and agriculture, antigen, antibody, complement systems, immunity, vaccines, plant virus, animal virus and environmental microbiology.
6) Molecular Genetics: Principles of inheritance, linkage & crossing over, chromosomal aberrations, extrachromosomal inheritance, replication, transcription, translation, DNA repair and population genetics
7) Plant Sciences: Bryophytes, Pteridophytes, Gymnosperms, Angiosperms, Vascular system in plants, Economic important of plants, Photosynthesis, Photoperiodism, Vernalization, and Biogeochemical cycle
8) Animal Sciences: Characteristics of invertebrates and vertebrates, anatomy and physiology of different system of humans, nerve impulse transmission, endocrinology, human diseases Apoptosis and cancer, inherited diseases, animal cell culture.

Since CUET-PG Life-science has been revised two years back in 2022, previous year question papers prior to 2022 is not of exact reflection of what you may get in exam. However, sample/mock test is available on NTA website: www.nta.ac.in for hands-on practice or you may register at grassroots academy for in-depth preparation through class room program (online/offline) or via our test series.
