AP PGECET Exam Pattern
Andhra Pradesh Post Graduate Engineering Common Entrance Test
A single undivided section of 120 questions means there is nothing to sequence. The Computer Science and Information Technology paper runs 120 four-option questions for 120 marks in 120 minutes, a clean minute each, with one mark for a correct answer and nothing deducted for a wrong one, so every question should carry an answer by the time you submit. What the official material does not publish is a per-topic distribution. The nineteen domains used to balance the practice here are an editorial choice made on this site, not APPGECET weightage to revise against.

AP PGECET Computer Science & Information Technology marking scheme
- Each correct answer is worth 1 mark.
- There is no negative marking, so leaving a question blank can only cost you: an unattempted question and a wrong one score the same zero. Attempt everything.
- Worked example: attempt 96 of the 120 questions and get 72 right and 24 wrong, and you score 72 out of 120.
Practising against the same clock is the point of a mock test: at 60 seconds a question, the difference between a good score and an average one is usually pacing rather than knowledge. Attempt a free AP PGECET mock test to see where your time actually goes.
