It consists of 100 multiple-choice questions for a total of 100 marks, and you have 90 minutes to complete the paper. There is no negative marking, which means a wrong answer does not reduce your score.
| Parameter | Details |
|---|---|
| Mode of Exam | Pen-Paper (OMR-Based) |
| Duration | 90 Minutes (1 hour 30 minutes) |
| Total Number of Questions | 100 |
| Total Marks | 100 |
| Type of Questions | Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs) |
| Marks per Correct Answer | +1 mark |
| Negative Marking | None |
| Language of Paper | English and Telugu (Telugu medium available for language papers) |
| Sections | 3 Sections (A, B, C) |
Section-Wise Distribution of Questions

| Section A | 30 | 30 |
| Section B | 30 | 30 |
| Section C | 40 | 40 |

Key Points About the SKUCET Exam Pattern
- All 100 questions are in MCQ format with four answer options each. You must shade the correct option on the OMR sheet using a blue or black ball-point pen.
- Each correct answer carries 1 mark. There is no deduction for wrong answers or unattempted questions.
- The question paper is subject-specific — you will receive a paper based on the PG course you have applied for.
- For language-based papers (such as MA Telugu), the question paper may be available in Telugu medium.
- You have approximately 54 seconds per question. Managing your time well across all three sections is key to a good score.
Do not use pencil or correction fluid on the OMR sheet. Rough work must be done in the space provided on the question paper itself. Read the instructions on the OMR sheet carefully before you begin.

SKUCET 2026 Answer Key
The SKUCET 2026 answer key will be published on the official website skucet.ac.in a few days after the exam. Sri Krishnadevaraya University usually releases a provisional answer key first, followed by a final answer key after considering valid objections from candidates.

The final answer key and result will be based on the responses after reviewing all valid objections. The university’s decision on objections is final.
Use the provisional answer key only for self-assessment purposes. The final result will be calculated only on the basis of the official final answer key released by Sri Krishnadevaraya University.
SKUCET 2026 Result
The SKUCET 2026 result is expected to be declared in the last week of June 2026. In 2025, the result and rank cards were announced in late June 2025 on the official website skucet.ac.in. Along with the result, the university also releases subject-wise and category-wise rank lists for all qualifying candidates.
How to Check SKUCET 2026 Result
- Visit the official website skucet.ac.in once the result is announced.
- Click on the "Result" or "Rank Card" link on the homepage.
- Enter your application number and date of birth to log in.
- Your SKUCET 2026 result, marks scored, and rank will appear on the screen.
- Download and print your SKUCET rank card. Keep it safe throughout the admission process.
Details on SKUCET 2026 Rank Card
Your SKUCET 2026 rank card will include the following information:
- Candidate’s name, application number, and roll number
- PG course applied for and subject
- Marks scored in the SKUCET exam (out of 100)
- Overall SKUCET rank and category-wise rank
- Qualifying status (Qualified / Not Qualified)
The SKUCET rank card is mandatory for counselling. You cannot participate in seat allotment without producing your rank card. Do not lose it — download and take multiple printouts as soon as the result is announced.
SKUCET 2026 Cutoff
The SKUCET 2026 cutoff refers to the minimum score or rank a candidate must secure to qualify for counselling and PG seat allotment. There are two types of cutoffs in SKUCET — the qualifying cutoff (minimum marks to be eligible for counselling) and the admission cutoff (the rank at which the last seat in a particular course and category is allotted).
SKUCET Minimum Qualifying Cutoff
| Category | Minimum Qualifying Marks (Out of 100) |
|---|---|
| General / OBC / Other Categories | 25 marks |
| SC / ST | No minimum — all appearing SC/ST candidates are eligible for counselling |
Factors That Decide SKUCET Admission Cutoff
The admission cutoff rank for each PG course and department depends on several factors:
- Total number of candidates who appeared in SKUCET 2026 and qualified
- Number of available seats in each PG programme and college
- Difficulty level of the SKUCET 2026 exam paper
- Category-wise seat distribution (General, OBC, SC, ST, EWS, PH)
- Number of rounds of counselling conducted
Popular PG courses such as MSc Computer Science, M.Com, and MA English tend to have a higher cutoff rank because more candidates compete for limited seats. Courses with fewer applicants typically have a lower cutoff rank.
The SKUCET 2026 admission cutoff ranks will be published on skucet.ac.in during the counselling process, after the result is declared. You can check the opening and closing ranks for each course and category to understand your chances of getting a seat.
Scoring above 25 marks satisfies the qualifying cutoff but does not guarantee a seat. Your admission depends on your final rank compared to the admission cutoff for your chosen course, college, and category.
SKUCET 2026 Counselling Process
SKUCET 2026 counselling is expected to begin in July 2026, after the result is declared. Counselling is the centralised seat allotment process where candidates are assigned PG course seats based on their SKUCET rank, category, and available seats. All candidates who qualify the minimum cutoff will be eligible to participate in counselling.
Step-by-Step SKUCET 2026 Counselling Process
- Step 1 — Online Registration for Counselling: Eligible candidates must register on the SKUCET counselling portal using their rank card and application number. You will need to pay a registration or processing fee at this stage.
- Step 2 — Web Options / Course and College Preferences: After registration, you must fill in your preferred PG courses and departments/colleges in order of preference. Fill as many options as possible to improve your chances of getting a seat.
- Step 3 — Seat Allotment: Seats are allotted based on your SKUCET rank, your entered preferences, and available seat matrix. The allotment result is published on the official website.
- Step 4 — Reporting and Document Verification: Candidates who receive a seat allotment must physically report to the allotted department or college on the specified date. You need to carry all original documents and photocopies for verification.
- Step 5 — Fee Payment and Admission Confirmation: After document verification, pay the prescribed admission fee to confirm your seat. You will then receive an admission order or provisional admission letter.
Sri Krishnadevaraya University may conduct more than one round of counselling depending on the number of vacant seats. Details of all counselling rounds will be published on skucet.ac.in.

How to Prepare for SKUCET 2026
SKUCET is a subject-specific exam. The questions test your knowledge of your UG-level subject. Your preparation must focus on the core topics from your bachelor’s degree programme. Here are some practical tips to help you score well in SKUCET 2026.
1. Understand the Exam Pattern First
SKUCET has 100 MCQs for 100 marks in 90 minutes with no negative marking. This means your strategy should be to attempt all 100 questions — never leave any question unanswered. Even a guess on an uncertain question could get you a mark, since there is no penalty for wrong answers.
2. Revise Your UG Syllabus Thoroughly
All SKUCET questions come from the UG-level topics of your subject. Go back to your degree textbooks and revise each unit carefully. If you are applying for MSc Chemistry, for example, revise all the topics from your BSc Chemistry semesters — organic, inorganic, physical, and analytical chemistry.
3. Solve Previous Year Question Papers
- SKUCET previous year question papers give you a clear idea of the type of questions, difficulty level, and frequently tested topics.
- Try to solve at least five previous year SKUCET papers before the exam date.
- Previous year papers may be available on the official website skucet.ac.in or in university study material.
4. Manage Your Time During the Exam
- You have about 54 seconds for each question. Practice speed and accuracy.
- Attempt the questions you are confident about first. Come back to doubtful ones at the end.
- Do not spend more than 90 seconds on any single question during the actual exam.
- Since there is no negative marking, fill an answer for every question before time runs out.
5. Subject-Wise Preparation Tips
- MSc (Science): Make formula sheets and concept maps. Practice numerical problems and definitions. Focus on core concepts from all UG semesters.
- MA (Arts): Focus on names, dates, important works, authors, and key events. For language papers, also revise grammar rules and major literary movements.
- M.Com: Revise accounting entries, financial ratios, management theories, and commercial law basics.
- MPEd: Revise anatomy, physiology, rules of major sports, and physical education principles.
- MLibSc: Focus on classification systems (DDC, CC), cataloguing rules, and information management basics.
6. Keep Checking the Official Website
