UP Veterinary Entrance Exam
There is no longer a separate Uttar Pradesh veterinary entrance examination that a student can sit. Admission to the bachelor of veterinary science and animal husbandry degree in Uttar Pradesh, as everywhere else in the country, is now made from the score in the national eligibility cum entrance test for undergraduate courses, which the veterinary regulator adopted as the single admission test for the degree. State-level veterinary entrance tests, including the earlier Uttar Pradesh test, were discontinued when that change took effect. Candidates who want a veterinary seat in Uttar Pradesh the

The exam is now conducted online. The 2026 cycle uses a computer-based test (CBT) format, replacing the offline OMR-based method used in 2025.
Exam Mode and Key Parameters
The table below compares the 2025 and 2026 exam parameters. The shift to CBT is the main change; other rules remain the same.
| Parameter | 2025 | 2026 |
|---|---|---|
| Exam Mode | Offline (OMR-based) | Computer-Based Test (CBT) |
| Total Questions | 200 | 200 (no change) |

| Negative Marking (PGEE / DEE) | Nil | Nil (no change) |
| Medium | English | English (no change) |
| Subjects (UGEE) | Physics, Chemistry, Biology | Physics, Chemistry, Biology (no change) |
UGEE Subject-Wise Weightage
Biology carries 100 of the 200 marks in UGEE. It is the rank-deciding subject.
| Unit | Approx. Weightage |
|---|---|
| Diversity and Plant Physiology (Botany) | 25–28 questions |
| Genetics, Ecology, and Biotechnology | 20–23 questions |
| Human Physiology and Reproduction (Zoology) | 25–28 questions |
| Cell Biology, Evolution, and Animal Kingdom | 22–25 questions |
Question Types
All three papers are built entirely from single-correct MCQs. There are no numerical-type, matching, assertion-reason, or descriptive questions in any stream.
| Question Type | Used In | Format |
|---|---|---|
| Single-Correct MCQ | UGEE, PGEE, DEE | Four options, one correct answer |
| Multiple-Select MCQ | Not used | — |
| Numerical / Integer Type | Not used | — |
| Descriptive / Subjective | Not used | — |
Practise answering MCQs at a steady pace. The test does not include any unscored or experimental question types.
Negative Marking Rules
Negative marking applies only to the UGEE. Each wrong answer in UGEE deducts 1 mark.
The PGEE and DEE 2026 papers carry no negative marking. Leaving questions blank in these papers only hurts your score.
How to Prepare Based on the Exam Pattern
Your preparation strategy should follow the marking rules of the specific paper you are sitting. Use the pattern-driven tips below to shape your revision.
- Prioritise Biology if you are taking the UGEE. It carries 100 of the 200 marks, so a strong score in Botany and Zoology lifts your rank more than any other subject.
- Attempt every question in PGEE and DEE. Neither paper has negative marking, so leaving questions blank only hurts your score.
- Be selective in UGEE. A -1 penalty means random guessing in Physics and Chemistry can wipe out the marks gained in Biology — mark only the answers you can reason out.
- Practise CBT mocks. The 2026 shift to computer-based testing changes navigation and review-flag habits — sit at least two full-length mocks on a laptop before exam day.
- Stick to NCERT and the prescribed Class 11 / 12 syllabus for UGEE. The paper draws directly from these books and rarely tests beyond the standard curriculum.
- Revise the qualifying-degree core for PGEE. The PGEE pulls questions from your Bachelor’s degree subject, so focus on textbook concepts you covered during B.V.Sc., B.Sc., or B.Tech.
- Time yourself at one question per minute. With 200 MCQs in a single paper, a slower pace will leave you with unattempted questions toward the end.
