Questions candidates ask
How many questions are in the UGC NET Paper 1 mock test?
50 MCQs pooled from all ten Paper 1 units — five per unit — with no negative marking.
Is Paper 1 the same for every UGC NET subject?
Yes. Paper 1 tests teaching and research aptitude and is identical for all candidates. Only Paper 2 is subject-specific.
Does UGC NET have negative marking?
No. Neither Paper 1 nor Paper 2 deducts marks for wrong answers, so every question is worth attempting.
How is the mock sampled across units?
Evenly — five questions from each of the ten units, which mirrors the balance the NTA aims for and stops any single unit dominating your practice.
