The official CUSAT CAT 2026 B.Tech Test Code 101 pattern is 225 questions in 180 minutes with Mathematics 90, Physics 75, and Chemistry 60, scored +4 for a correct answer and -1 for an incorrect answer, within the Plus Two (Class 11-12) syllabus. This covers only B.Tech Test Code 101, not CUSAT’s separate B.Tech Marine Engineering route or its lateral-entry B.Tech admission test. The detailed chapter balance used in these questions is a TakeMockTest practice control map within the official syllabus, not an official CUSAT chapter-wise weightage.
