  1. English, Physics, Mathematics, Chemistry
  2. English, Physics, Mathematics, Computer Science
  3. English, Physics, Mathematics, Statistics
  4. English, Physics, Biology, Chemistry
B) The details of each subject are given as under:
  1. English: 10 questions. It will be comprehension type. A paragraph would be given and candidates would be required to answer TEN multiple choice questions related to the paragraph.
  2. Physics: 30 questions. All questions would be on topics covered in F.Sc/ "A" Level/ DAE. Questions would require the candidate to solve problems by using the skills and concepts learnt during the intermediate level studies. For example, candidates would certainly be asked questions on Mechanics, Electricity & Magnetism, Work and Energy, etc.
  3. Mathematics: 30 questions. All questions would be on topics covered in F.Sc/ "A" Level/ DAE. Questions would require the candidate to solve problems by using the skills and concepts learnt during the intermediate level studies. For example, candidates would certainly be asked questions requiring knowledge of Differentiation, Integration, Linear Algebra, Trigonometry, etc.
  4. Chemistry/ Computer Science/ Statistics: 30 questions. All questions would be on topics covered in F.Sc/ "A" Level/ DAE. Questions would require the candidate to solve problems by using the skills and concepts learnt during the intermediate level studies. 
  5. Biology (in lieu of Mathematics for Pre-medical candidates): 30 questions. All questions would be on topics covered in F.Sc/ "A" Level/ DAE. Questions would require the candidate to solve problems by using the skills and concepts learnt during the intermediate level studies. 
C)  Marking of Entry Test Answer Sheet: Correct Answer: 4 marks, Wrong Answer: -1 mark. No answer: 0 marks. This means that if a candidate has 40 correct answers, 40 wrong answers and 20 blanks (no answers), he/she would earn the following marks: 40 x 4 + 40 x (-1) + 20 x (0) = 160 – 40 + 0= 120 marks out of maximum 400. 

D) The question paper will have FOUR versions. All versions will have the same questions, but the subjects, questions and answer choices would all be randomly placed. One version may have English as the first subject (that is, question numbers 1 to 10) and Mathematics as the second (that is, question numbers 11 to 40). The other version may have Physics as the first subject (that is, question numbers 1 to 30) and so on. Each version would have a separate answer sheet and candidates shall mark the answer sheet provided with their version

E) The answer sheet will have a carbon copy sheet. In most of the cases, the carbon copy sheet becomes detached from the answer sheet. DO NOT staple it with the answer sheet. You may fill the carbon copy by hand separately for your record after finishing your test.

F) Candidates are advised NOT to carry the following items with them: (i) Mobile Phone; (ii) Calculator; (iii) any helping material; (iv) Handbags; (v) Staplers. (a) Candidates MUST carry the following items ONLY: (i) Photo identification like CNIC, Matriculation or first year certificate having a photograph, passport or a domicile certificate, (ii) Computerized "B" form; (iii) Admit Card; (iv) Clean Clip Board.

G) Entry test is a pre-requisite for applying to UET Lahore or its affiliated colleges. Other public-sector institutions like Punjab University, UET Taxila, BZU Multan, Islamia University Bahawalpur, Khawaja Fareed UEIT RYK, Punjab Tianjin University of Technology (PTUT) and some private institutions also require Combined Entry Test conducted by UET Lahore as a pre-requisite.

H) This Entry Test is valid for admission cycle 2019 only.
