IPU CET consists of all the topics specified in the CET syllabus section.
This year, IPU CET is going to be a Computer-Based Test (CBT).
Candidates are required to report at their respective exam centre at least half an hour before the commencement of CET along with two copies of their admit card, issued by the University.
No candidate will be allowed to enter the CET centre after the commencement of the exam.
Immediately on receipt of the Test Booklet, each candidate has to fill the required particulars on the cover page of the Test Booklet with a black ballpoint pen only. Candidates must not open the seal of the Test Booklet until asked to do so by the Invigilator.
The entrance exam will start exactly at the time mentioned on the admit card.
While the test is in progress, the Invigilator will check the admit cards of the candidates to cross-check their identities. The Invigilator will also put his/her signature in the space provided for the purpose on the OMR answer sheet as well as on the admit card.
All candidates will have to sign the Attendance Sheet against their CET Roll Number.
After completing the entrance exam, and before handing over the Test Booklet and the OMR answer sheet to the Invigilator, candidates must make sure that all the particulars of the Test Booklet and the OMR answer sheet are specified accurately, i.e. CET Roll Number, Name of the Candidate, CET Code, Centre Code, Test Booklet Number, Test Booklet Code, CET Name.
No candidate will be allowed to move out of the exam hall before the exam duration is over.
No candidate will be allowed to take the Test Booklet and/or the OMR answer sheet from the exam hall.
Candidates must bring their own black ballpoint pens to the exam centre.
Candidates must ensure that their answer sheets are not folded. Also, they should not write any kind of description of it.
Candidates are advised to be sure about the correct answer before they darken the oval with a black ballpoint pen. They should also ensure that each oval is completely darkened with a black ballpoint pen, partially or faintly darkened ovals may be rejected by the optical scanner, and may also be negatively marked.
For all programmes, each question will carry four marks. For each incorrect response, one mark will be deducted from the total number of marks obtained by the candidate. Candidates are advised not to attempt a question if they are not sure of the correct answer. If a candidate darkens more than one oval against a question, it will be deemed to be an incorrect answer and will be negatively marked.
A question in which multiple ovals are darkened shall be deemed to be answered wrong. The Test Booklet Code filled in by the candidate in the OMR answer-sheet will be accepted as final for the purpose of evaluation. When the space for the Booklet Code is left blank or more than one booklet code is indicated therein, it will be deemed to be an incorrect booklet code and the answer sheet will not be evaluated. The candidate himself/herself will be solely responsible for all the consequences arising out of any error or omission in writing the Test Booklet Code.
No candidate should do any rough work on the OMR answer sheet. Rough work, if any, is to be done only in the Test Booklet at the space provided.
While attempting the question paper in the exam hall, candidates must make sure that their Test Booklets contain the number of pages as mentioned at the top of the first page. In case numbers do not tally, then, they must contact the exam Invigilator immediately.
Candidates should not remove any page(s) from the Test Booklet and if any page(s) is (are) found missing from their booklets, they shall be liable for prosecution under relevant provisions of the Indian Penal Code.
In case of any confusion, candidates must contact the exam Invigilator.
No candidate, without the specific permission of the Centre Superintendent or the invigilator concerned, shall leave his/her seat in the examination hall until he/she has finished his/her paper and handed over the Test Booklet and the OMR answer-sheet to the Invigilator on duty.
Smoking in the exam hall during the hours of the test is strictly prohibited.
Tea, coffee, cold drinks or snacks are not allowed inside the exam hall during the test.
Any conversation, gesticulation or causing a disturbance in the exam will be deemed to be an act of misbehaviour and is, therefore, strictly prohibited.

The decision in regard to usage of unfair means shall be taken by the University on the report of the centre superintendent of the test centre, on the recommendation of a constituted committee by the Controller of Examinations (Operations) of the University. The constitution of the committee shall be done by the Controller of Examinations (Operations).
No candidate should carry any textual material, printed or written, bits of papers or any other material except the admit card (without envelope) inside the exam hall.
