CUET PG 2027 exam pattern has not been released. Until NTA publishes the new information bulletin, the latest confirmed pattern is from 2026: a computer-based test with 75 multiple-choice questions, 90 minutes and a maximum score of 300. A correct answer gets 4 marks, while a wrong answer deducts 1 mark.

Candidates could choose up to four question paper codes in 2026. Each code had its own 75-question paper. The correct code depended on the course and university, so two universities could ask applicants for different paper codes for similar courses.

CUET PG Exam Pattern 2027

The 2027 information bulletin is awaited. These details are from the confirmed 2026 scheme. NTA will confirm the 2027 pattern, paper codes and language rules in the new bulletin.

The average time available is 72 seconds per question. This is only a paper-wide average, not a time limit set by the test screen for each question.

CUET PG Question Paper Structure

Each selected paper code had one paper with 75 questions in the 2026 scheme. The paper was not divided into a 25-question general section and a 75-question subject section. That 100-question Part A and Part B format belongs to an older pattern.

The subject matter changed with the paper code. For example, COQP codes covered common papers, LAQP codes covered languages and SCQP codes covered science subjects. The detailed topics for each code are covered in the CUET PG syllabus.

The paper had 75 questions, but candidates were not required to answer all of them. An unanswered question received 0 marks.

CUET PG Marking Scheme 2027

The latest confirmed marking scheme gives 4 marks for a correct answer and deducts 1 mark for a wrong answer. Questions left unanswered receive 0 marks.

Example score calculation

Suppose a candidate answers 50 questions correctly, 15 incorrectly and leaves 10 unanswered. The score is (50 × 4) − (15 × 1) = 185 marks. The 10 unanswered questions do not change the score.

Multiple correct options and dropped questions

If the final key accepts more than one option, candidates who selected any accepted option receive 4 marks. If no option is correct, a question is wrong or NTA drops it, every candidate who appeared for that paper receives 4 marks, whether the question was attempted or not. The CUET PG information bulletin gives these rules.

CUET PG Exam Duration and CBT Navigation

The paper lasts 90 minutes. A countdown clock appears on the test screen, and the exam ends automatically when it reaches zero. Candidates can move between questions and change saved answers while time remains.

CUET PG Question Paper Codes

The 2026 bulletin had 157 question paper codes in six groups. Language papers formed the largest group with 41 codes. Science had 30 codes, while Common papers had 22.

Question paper code distribution

The number of codes shows the range of papers, not the number a student can take. Candidates could select up to four, and each university decided which code was valid for its course. The application process explains paper selection and fees.

CUET PG Question Paper Medium

The paper language depends on the paper-code group. The confirmed 2026 rules were:

For non-language and non-Acharya papers, the English version was treated as final if the two versions differed. NTA will confirm whether the same rule applies in 2027.

Has the CUET PG 2027 Exam Pattern Changed?

No change can be confirmed until the 2027 information bulletin is released. The latest official scheme has 75 questions, 90 minutes and 300 marks. It does not use the older 100-question Part A and Part B format.

The 2027 bulletin may update paper codes, course mapping or language details even if the main 75-question format stays the same. These details should be read with the new syllabus and paper-code list after release.
