Mock Test for PU CET UG 2026 (NCERT Based)
Since the PU CET is strictly based on the 11th and 12th NCERT curriculum, our subject matter experts have designed a mini-mock test to gauge your preparation.
Expert Teacher Tip: “The PU CET isn’t a test of depth like JEE Advanced; it is a test of speed and accuracy. You have 70 minutes for 60 questions. If a calculation takes more than 90 seconds, skip it and move to the next.”
Sample Practice Questions:
- Physics: If the momentum of a body is increased by 50%, what is the percentage increase in its kinetic energy?
- Chemistry: Identify the major product formed when phenol reacts with $Br_2$ in $CS_2$ at low temperature.
- Biology: Which part of the human brain is responsible for the regulation of body temperature?
The “IndCareer Edge”: Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Ignoring the 11th Syllabus: Many students focus only on 12th Boards. However, PU CET consistently allocates 45% weightage to the Class 11th syllabus.
- Over-calculating in Chemistry: Inorganic questions are memory-based. Don’t waste time looking for hidden logic; if you know the trend, mark it and move on.
- Incorrect Subject Marking: Ensure you only attempt the subjects you registered for (e.g., don’t attempt Math if you are a PCB student).
