Each of the papers has to be solved within 90 minutes, except for the Integrated MA in Applied Economics, which has a duration of 2 hours with the same number of questions and the same total marks. There is no need to worry about negative marking in any of the exams in OUCET because there aren’t any. The papers will contain any 3 or 4 varieties of items such as analogy, matching, classification, comprehension of a research experiment/study/ theoretical point of view, etc. The questions will adhere to the syllabus and difficulty level specified by the conducting body for that topic.
