Khushi: I appeared for the Life Sciences subject in CUET PG 2022. Although the difficulty level of the paper was moderate, it was difficult for me to manage the time since the questions were lengthy. Some of the topics from Life Sciences were Animal Physiology, Plant Physiology and Human Physiology among others. The General Test was easy for me.

Ritwik: I took the Life Sciences paper for CUET PG. The topics from which the majority of the questions were asked included Genetics and Cell Theory. Even though the questions were from the syllabus, I found the questions on the tougher side. Rest, there were no challenges regarding the General Test or time management.

The 75 mark section of political science pg cuet was absolutely horrendous. It was really tough. It will be difficult for many students to cross the 200 marks
