Your Ultimate Exam Preparation Guide Awaits!
IIITH UGEE Previous Year Question Papers are available here as a PDF. candidates preparing for the IIITH UGEE exam 2026 are advised to practice the IIITH UGEE previous years papers to get a better idea of the paper pattern, and marking scheme of the exam. The IIITH UGEE paper is divided into two sections—SUPR (Subject Proficiency Test) and REAP (Research Aptitude Test). SUPR evaluates a student’s grasp of core subjects like Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry, while REAP measures critical thinking, logical reasoning, and research aptitude through subjective, open-ended questions. By solving UGEE PYQs, candidates gain clarity on the weightage of topics, time management strategies, and the depth of conceptual understanding required.
Candidates can download the previous year question paper of IITH UGEE from the table below for both sections.
The most important topics asked in the IIITH UGEE Physics section include Mechanics (covering kinematics, laws of motion, work-energy, rotational motion, and gravitation), Electricity and Magnetism (covering electrostatics, current electricity, magnetic effects, and electromagnetic induction), Optics and Modern Physics (covering wave optics, ray optics, dual nature, atoms, and nuclei), and Thermodynamics, waves, and properties of matter. 25-30% questions are asked from Mechanics, 20-25% from Electricity and Magnetism, 15-20% from Optics & Modern Physics, 10-15% from Thermodynamics & Waves, and 10-15% from Solids/Liquids and Measurement.
Mathematics questions are primarily drawn from Class 12-level CBSE/JEE syllabus where the highest weightage is on topics that are mainly application-based. Calculus has 20-25% weightage with questions from limits, derivatives, applications (maxima/minima, tangents), integrals, and differential equations.Algebra has 15-18% weightage and Coordinate Geometry has 15% weightage and they cover quadratic equations, complex numbers, sequences/ series, permutations/ combinations, conic sections, and straight lines/ circles. Probability & Statistics comprises 15-20% and Vectors/ 3D Geometry comprise 10-12% of the paper, often covering case studies or puzzles in REAP.

1. Two chairs (A and B) are in an empty room overnight. Chair A is made of steel while chair B is made of wood. In the night and in the morning, the temperature of the room is 290 K. In the morning, a person chooses between Chair A and Chair B as the seat by feeling (touching) the chair and choosing one which feels warmer. Person chooses __ (BLANK-1) __ as it feels warmer because __ (BLANK-2)___ has __(BLANK-3)___ ___ (BLANK-4)____ than ___(BLANK-5)___ . (A) BLANK-1: Chair A, Chair B, neither chair
(B) BLANK-2: metal, wood, air, human body
(C) BLANK-3: higher, lower, different, same
(D) BLANK-4: heat capacity, heat conductivity, electrical resistance (E) BLANK-5: metal, wood, air, human body
2. Consider a rope fixed at both ends under tension so that it is horizontal (i.e. assume the rope is along x-axis, with gravity acting along z-axis). Now the right end is continually oscillated at high frequency n (say n=100 Hz) horizontally and in a direction along the rope; amplitude of oscillation is negligible. The oscillation travells along the rope and is reflected at the left end. Let the total length of rope be l, total mass be m and the acceleration due to gravity be g. After initial phase (say a mintue or so), the rope has __(BLANK-1)__ wave, which is __(BLANK-2)__ in nature. It results from superposition of left travelling and right travelling __(BLANK-3)__ waves. This resulting wave has a frequency __ (BLANK-4)_ that of oscillation frequency nu. Simple dimensional analysis indicates that the frequency of can be of the form: ___(BLANK-5)__ .
(A) BLANK-1: travelling, oscillating, stationary, regular
(B) BLANK-2: transverse, longitudinal, regular, irregular
(C) BLANK-3: transverse, longitudinal, regular, irregular
(D) BLANK-4: equal to, half, double, independent from
(E) BLANK-5: sqrt (g / l ), sqrt ( m g ), sqrt ( m g l ), sqrt ( l / g )
3. When I was a child, there used to be a fair in my town during the Diwali and Id festivities. Among the many things I saw was a strange puppet show. There were three puppets, one of a man, another of a woman and the third one of a rakshasa (demon). Whenever the rakshasa was brought close to the woman, she would turn her face away. But when the man was brought close to her, she would turn back and face the man. I and my friends looked at this show and argued for hours what caused the woman to turn her face. Choose one or more of the options below about my childhood experience above:
(A) The strange behaviour of the woman puppet was:
1. definitely because someone was moving it with sticks or strings.
2. definitely because there were magnets fixed in the heads of all three puppets.
3. could be because of magnets in the heads of all three puppets or someone moving them with sticks or strings.
4. just a random thing. Since we were children then, we thought it was happening in a particular way.
(B) If there were magnets fixed in the heads the puppets inside the head such that one end of the magnet was at the mouth (M) and the other at the back of the head (B), then the arrangement of the north (N) and south (S) poles of the magnets must be like:
1. man: M-N, B-S; woman: M-N, B-S; demon: M-N, B-S
2. man: M-N, B-S; woman: M-S, B-N; demon: M-S, B-N
3. man: M-S, B-N; woman: M-S, B-N; demon: M-S, B-N
4. man: M-S, B-N; woman: M-N, B-S; demon: M-S, B-N
(C) One of my friends stayed back one day at the show and kept looking at the puppets for a long time. He asked the manager of the show to move the puppets in certain ways. The manager as a kind person and with my friend insisting, he agreed to do what my friend asked for. But he did not the friend if there were magnets in the puppets. But the next day, the friend told us that he was sure that there were magnets inside the puppets’ faces. What did he ask the manager to do and what could he have seen? He must see the effect after asking for moving the puppets
1. backwards towards each other.
2. at different speeds.
3. up and down.
4. On the same plane, but in different directions.
4. Your teacher uses a weighing balance to take equal amounts of two substances, tartaric acid and washing soda, say 1g. Each is dissolved separately into 100 cc of water.
(A) In 1 drop of the acid solution and 1 drop of the basic solution, we have
1. equal amount of acid and base respectively
2. equally acidic and basic substance respectively
3. acidity in one and basicity in the other are not equal
4. equal magnitude of the quantity |pH-7|
(B) Take a few cc of the acidic solution in a test-tube and mix a few drops of coloured phenolphthaline solution ((prepared in basic medium)) into it. Which of the following may be happening
1. The colour of the solution instantly changes pink
2. remains colourless as the colour of the added drops disappears
3. the colour diffuses through the solution and finally disappears
4. the colour diffuses through the solution and finally the entire solution acquires a faint pink colour.
There is roughly equal weightage across Physical, Organic, and Inorganic Chemistry (about 30-40% each). 35-40% weightage is given to Physical Chemistry covering mole concept, thermodynamics, chemical equilibrium, kinetics, and electrochemistry. 30-35% weightage is allotted to Organic Chemistry covering general organic chemistry, named reactions, isomerism, and practical organic chemistry. 25-30% weightage is given to Inorganic Chemistry covering block chemistry, chemical bonding, atomic structure, and periodic trends.
