How to Use APJEE Previous Year Papers?
- Use them for your Class 10 board exam. Your diploma rank now comes from Class 10 marks, so the APJEE Maths and Science questions are good revision for the board papers, especially English, Mathematics and Science for engineering courses.
- Time a paper at 2 hours if you want a test. 75 questions in 120 minutes is about 96 seconds a question, enough to write out full working for the maths questions.
- Check answers from your textbooks. None of the papers has an answer key, so mark your answers and verify them against your Class 10 Maths and Science books.
- Watch for the 2027 notice. Registration is expected in April to May 2027. If the state ever brings the test back, the 2022 to 2025 papers are the most recent ones to start with.
