How to Use DUET Previous Year Papers?
- Use them for your CUET (PG) subject. Many DUET master’s papers test the same subject knowledge as CUET (PG) domain papers. Solve the papers for your course from 2018 to 2021, then move to the CUET PG question papers for the current pattern.
- Start with 2021, because it is the only year with answer keys. Each key lists the question ID and the ID of the correct option, so match the IDs printed in the paper.
- Check 2018 to 2020 answers from your textbooks. Those years have no key. The 2018 papers are master papers with question and option IDs, so note your choice for each ID as you go.
- Plan for March 2027. About four months remain before CUET (PG) 2027. Solve one DUET paper in your subject each week alongside the CUET (PG) papers.
