Written Test Pattern for MS programs

(Entry Test 2023)


The duration of the written test shall be 3 hours (180 minutes). The written test for MS programs
shall consist of two sections i.e,
(i) General Section
The General Section would be compulsory for all the candidates, and it will contain 50
Questions with a time allocation of 90 minutes.
 20 Questions each related to Basic Physics
 20 Questions related to General Mathematics
 10 Questions would be from English language.
(ii) Subject Specific Section
To meet the manpower requirements of PAEC, the number of entry level disciplines
to PIEAS post-graduate studies has been given below. Consequently, one set of
specialized question paper containing subject specific 50 Questions would be
prepared in each of the following areas:

Academic Background Areas

 Physics
 Geology / Geo Physics
B.S / M. Sc. / equivalent  Chemistry
 Computer Science
 Mathematics
MBBS  Medicine
 Electrical Engineering (Power)
 Electronics Engineering
 Computer Engineering
 Chemical Engineering
B.E. / B.Sc. (Eng.) / equivalent  Mechanical Engineering
 Mechatronics Engineering
 Metallurgy & Materials Engineering
 Civil Engineering
 Mining Engineering

 All of the questions would be of multiple-choice (MCQ) type with four possible
answers, say, A, B, C, and D.

 There will be no negative marking.
