How to Use Old UPSEE Question Papers?
- Use PCM for JEE Main practice. The UPSEE Paper 1 (PCM) papers have 150 Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics questions in 3 hours, a good full-length chapter test before JEE Main.
- Use PCB for Class 12 Biology revision. Paper 2 (PCB) covers Physics, Chemistry and Biology at Class 12 level, so it works as extra revision for CUET UG science papers.
- Score with the 2017, 2019 and 2020 keys. Those three years have AKTU’s answer keys. Papers from 2015 and 2016 are best for untimed topic practice.
- Pick the right lateral entry paper. Separate papers exist for B.Sc graduates, diploma engineering and diploma pharmacy holders (2015, 2019 and 2020), but lateral entry now uses CUET UG scores and diploma or B.Sc marks.
