What this paper looks like

UGC NET Paper 2 tests the single subject you registered for, at 100 questions and 200 marks. This Computer Science and Applications paper covers discrete structures, algorithms, operating systems, databases, networks, software engineering and machine learning. There is no negative marking, so every question is worth an attempt.

These are practice questions, not official papers. Report unclear questions through the in-test report control; a report does not guarantee an immediate correction.

How to use this practice

Trace algorithms and state changes instead of relying on recognition. Alternate discrete mathematics and theory revision with short problems on data structures, operating systems, databases and networks, checking complexity and boundary conditions explicitly.

Topics covered

Sample questions with worked solutions

These short examples show the style of reasoning used in the simulator. They are illustrative and are not a full practice paper.

Sample 1. Which data structure is used by breadth-first search to process discovered vertices in arrival order?

  1. Stack
  2. Queue
  3. Heap only
  4. Binary search tree only
Show answer and solution

B — Queue

Breadth-first search explores vertices level by level, so a first-in, first-out queue preserves discovery order.

Sample 2. A relation is in BCNF when, for every non-trivial functional dependency X → Y, which condition holds?

  1. Y is a candidate key
  2. X is a superkey
  3. X and Y are disjoint
  4. Y contains every attribute
Show answer and solution

B — X is a superkey

BCNF requires the determinant of every non-trivial functional dependency to be a superkey.

Questions candidates ask

How many questions are in the UGC NET Computer Science and Applications mock test?

100 subject-specific MCQs worth 200 marks, matching the real Paper 2 format.

Does UGC NET Paper 2 have negative marking?

No. Nothing is deducted for a wrong answer, so leaving questions blank only costs you.

Do I need to clear Paper 1 and Paper 2 separately?

No. Both papers are taken in one sitting and the aggregate decides qualification, so a strong Paper 2 can offset a weaker Paper 1.

Which Computer Science and Applications areas should I prioritise?

Start with the areas where your timed accuracy is weakest, then rotate through the full syllabus. This paper covers discrete structures, computer architecture, programming and data structures, algorithms, operating systems, databases, computer networks, software engineering and artificial intelligence.
