PULEET previous year question papers from 2015 to 2026 (no test paper exists for 2020) are free to download here, Panjab University’s lateral entry B.E. test booklets with Panjab University’s answer key for every year (the 2015 key is on the last page of the 2015 paper PDF). PULEET has had 100 questions for 100 marks in 100 minutes since 2019, with 1/4 mark off for a wrong answer, so the 2019 to 2026 papers match the test expected in June 2027.

How the PULEET Paper Changed (2017–2026)
- 2015 to 2018: 75 questions for 75 marks in 90 minutes.
- 2019 onwards: 100 questions for 100 marks in 100 minutes, which is one minute a question.
- Using older papers: the 2017 and 2018 questions cover the same kind of engineering and science topics. Time them at 90 minutes, or add 2017 and 2018 together for a longer drill.
How to Use PULEET Previous Year Papers?
- Work at one minute a question. 100 questions in 100 minutes, with no calculator, means quick mental arithmetic. Practise the Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics questions without a calculator.
- Guess with care. At −1/4, a blind guess among four options gains only about 0.06 marks. Rule out two options and a guess averages about +0.375.
- Give most time to the 60 engineering questions. They carry 60 of 100 marks. Note which diploma subjects come up again across the 2019 to 2026 papers.
- Score yourself against the key. Count dropped questions as correct: for example Q6, Q8, Q10, Q54 and Q72 in 2023 and Q23 in 2024 gave every candidate the mark.
- Plan for June 2027. About seven months remain, with the form expected in April to May 2027. One paper a fortnight covers all seven 100-question papers before the test.
