The OUAT 2027 syllabus covers Physics, Chemistry and either Mathematics or Biology at the +2 Science (Class 11 and 12) level. Physics and Chemistry are compulsory, and you pick Mathematics or Biology in the application. The prospectus gives the subjects and marks but no topic list, so the units below follow the +2 syllabus.

What is the OUAT 2027 exam pattern and marking?
OUAT has 200 multiple-choice questions for 200 marks in 2 hours, in English, as per the 2026-27 prospectus. Each correct answer gets 1 mark and there is no negative marking.
| Subject | Marks |
|---|---|
| Physics (compulsory) | 66 |
| Chemistry (compulsory) | 66 |
| Mathematics or Biology (your choice) | 68 |
| Total | 200 |
- Mode: computer-based test in several shifts.
- Choice: PCM or PCB, fixed when you submit Form-A.
- Each question has four options.
- Marks are converted to a shift-wise percentile, which counts for 50% of your weighted score.
What topics come in OUAT Physics?
Physics carries 66 marks and follows the Class 11 and 12 units.
| Class | Units |
|---|---|
| Class 11 | Units and measurement, motion in a straight line and a plane, laws of motion, work, energy and power, rotational motion, gravitation, properties of solids and fluids, thermodynamics, kinetic theory, oscillations and waves |
| Class 12 | Electrostatics, current electricity, magnetic effects of current and magnetism, electromagnetic induction and alternating current, electromagnetic waves, ray and wave optics, dual nature of matter, atoms and nuclei, semiconductor electronics |
What topics come in OUAT Chemistry?
Chemistry carries 66 marks and covers physical, inorganic and organic chemistry from Class 11 and 12.
| Area | Topics |
|---|---|
| Physical | Basic concepts and mole, atomic structure, chemical bonding, states of matter, thermodynamics, equilibrium, redox reactions, solutions, electrochemistry, chemical kinetics |
| Inorganic | Periodic classification, s-block and p-block elements, d- and f-block elements, coordination compounds |
| Organic | Basic principles, hydrocarbons, haloalkanes and haloarenes, alcohols, phenols and ethers, aldehydes, ketones and carboxylic acids, amines, biomolecules |
What topics come in OUAT Mathematics?
Mathematics carries 68 marks and is only for candidates who choose PCM.
- Algebra: sets, relations and functions, complex numbers, quadratic equations, sequences and series, permutations and combinations, binomial theorem, matrices and determinants
- Trigonometry and inverse trigonometric functions
- Coordinate geometry: straight lines, circles, conic sections, three-dimensional geometry
- Calculus: limits, continuity and differentiability, applications of derivatives, integrals, differential equations
- Vectors, linear programming, statistics and probability
What topics come in OUAT Biology?
Biology carries 68 marks and is only for candidates who choose PCB. It is the usual choice for B.V.Sc. & A.H. and B.F.Sc., which need PCB.
- Diversity of living organisms and plant and animal kingdoms
- Structural organisation in plants and animals
- Cell structure, cell cycle and biomolecules
- Plant physiology: transport, mineral nutrition, photosynthesis, respiration, growth
- Human physiology: digestion, breathing, circulation, excretion, locomotion, neural and chemical control
- Reproduction, genetics and evolution
- Biology in human welfare, biotechnology, ecology and environment
Where can I get the OUAT syllabus PDF?
The OUAT 2026-27 prospectus lists the subjects and marks but no detailed topics. The last topic list OUAT published, for 2023, can be read on AglaSem Docs at View PDF. Check the 2027 prospectus on ouat.ac.in when it is out.
How should I prepare for OUAT 2027?
- Finish your +2 textbooks (NCERT or CHSE Odisha) first, since the questions are at that level.
- Give Mathematics or Biology the most time; it carries 68 marks, the largest share.
- Attempt every question in practice tests, since there is no negative marking.
- Solve OUAT previous year papers under a 2-hour limit to build speed.
- Keep your +2 marks high too: they make up 25% of your weighted score.
