The MAKAUT CET 2027 syllabus depends on your group. UG and PG 2 candidates are tested on General Knowledge, Logical Reasoning, English and Numerical Ability, while PG 1 candidates take Mathematics, Biology or Chemistry in place of Numerical Ability. MAKAUT gives only these section names, not a detailed topic list.
