The purpose of the UPCATET syllabus is to evaluate a candidate's comprehension, analytical skills, and knowledge of the subjects they have studied to qualify. It varies according to the course (UG, PG, or Ph.D.) that is being applied for and is in line with the curriculum that is recommended by universities and recognised education boards. The syllabus for undergraduate programs, which is based on the 10+2 level of the U.P. Board or comparable boards, mainly consists of subjects from Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Mathematics, and Agriculture. Postgraduate program curricula are based on the subjects studied at the bachelor's level, while Ph.D. candidates are assessed on more complex subjects related to their area of expertise.
