How to Use MCAER PG CET Previous Year Papers?
- Train for 36 seconds a question. 200 questions in 120 minutes is a fast pace. Solve the 2023 Agriculture paper in one sitting and note where you slow down.
- Mark every bubble. There is no negative marking, so a wrong answer costs nothing. Since a marked answer cannot be changed, decide first and then darken the circle once.
- Use the official keys to find what is asked. The 2022, 2023 and 2026 keys list the correct option for every question in your subject. The 2023 Agriculture paper’s own answers are unofficial, so check them against the 2023 key.
- Follow the Agriculture weightage. 160 of the 200 Agriculture questions come from B.Sc. (Hons.) Agriculture courses. Agronomy (25 questions), Agricultural Botany (24) and Horticulture (21) carried the most in 2026.
