The CUET PG 2024 Life Sciences Question Paper (SCQP17) and its solution PDF are available for download, along with the question papers from previous years (2023, 2022, and 2021). Shift-wise papers from 2023, including answer keys for different exam dates and language options, are also available.
The CUET PG 2024 Life Sciences exam had a new format, reducing the total number of questions from 100 to 75 by removing the General Test (Part A). Each exam lasted 105 minutes and had a maximum score of 300 marks. Based on previous years' papers, an estimated topic-wise weightage for the CUET PG 2025 Life Sciences exam (SCQP17) is also provided for reference.
