Mudita: I found the question paper little difficult. A lot of questions were based on theory and it is really difficult to remember a lot of theory. I found the questions paper difficult and I couldn't complete a lot of questions on time. Most of the questions were from the International Relations and Public Administration which were quite difficult to answer.''

Nausheed: ''Exam pattern was okay. But the Delhi University syllabus is a bit lengthy and confusing. Due to the mixed syllabus, I was confused what to study and what to leave. The worst thing about this exam is negative marking. I think there should be no negative marking in the exam.''

Unfortunately no. DUET is Delhi University Entrance Test and DU has discontinued the PG Diploma in Bioinformatics programme in 2023. Therefore, preparing for DUET to get admission to the PG Diploma in Bioinformatics programme will not be helpful.
