AMU entrance question papers in PDF are not published in full on Aligarh Muslim University’s official website. The Controller of Examinations site at amucontrollerexams.com shares the admission guide, syllabus and answer keys. Past papers for Class 6 to MBA tests are available mainly through third-party education websites and solved-paper books, which you should check against the official key.
Students preparing for AMU’s school and university admission tests often search for previous year question papers to understand the pattern. This guide explains where to find AMU entrance papers, what the official site offers, the paper pattern for key tests and how to use old papers well for the 2027-28 session.

What the official AMU website offers
The AMU Controller of Examinations website is the only official source for admission tests. For the 2026-27 session, it posted the application forms and admission guide early in the year, followed by answer keys of admission tests, the syllabus, sports-category admission notices, online counselling and results.

The answer keys are the most useful official resource for practice. After each test, AMU publishes keys so candidates can check their responses. Download these and keep them with any past paper you practise from.
Why there is no official question paper PDF
AMU does not upload full entrance question papers on its site. This is why many PDFs found online come from coaching institutes, student uploads or publishers. Some are reconstructed from memory by test takers, so small errors are possible.
Where to find AMU previous year question papers
- Education portals: Websites such as AglaSem have posted AMU B.Tech (AMUEEE) papers from 2022 onwards, and SelfStudys has older AMUEEE papers.
- Coaching platforms: Infinity Learn and MTG have shared papers and practice sets for the Class XI test.
- Solved-paper books: Publishers such as Arihant sell solved AMU entrance books for school and professional tests.
- Seniors and school libraries: Students who took the test recently can share the booklet pattern and tough topics.
Always confirm the year and course printed on any paper, and compare answers with AMU’s official key where possible.
AMU Class XI (Science) entrance paper pattern
The Class XI (Science) admission test has one objective paper of 100 questions carrying 100 marks. The subject split is shown below.
| Section | Questions and marks |
|---|---|
| Science | 50 |
| Mathematics | 30 |
| General Knowledge | 10 |
| Indo-Islamic Culture | 10 |
Science and Mathematics make up 80% of the paper, so most of your practice time should go there. The General Knowledge and Indo-Islamic Culture sections are short but can decide the final rank.
AMU B.Tech (AMUEEE) entrance paper
The current AMUEEE format has 100 multiple-choice questions across Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics. Older papers had 150 questions, so they are still useful for practising topics but not for timing. Use the most recent papers for full-length timed mocks.
Courses through CUET (UG)
Some AMU undergraduate programmes admit students through CUET (UG) conducted by the National Testing Agency instead of AMU’s own test. For these, practise with CUET papers, not old AMU papers. The list of CUET-based courses can change each year, so check the latest admission guide.
AMU admission dates
For the 2026-27 session, AMU’s admission tests ran from early April to 7 June 2026, and the last date for admissions was 31 August 2026. As of early October 2026, the university had not announced dates for the 2027-28 session. The admission guide is usually the first notice to appear, so keep checking the official site.
How to use AMU entrance papers for preparation
- Start with the syllabus: Download the official syllabus for your test and mark the topics.
- Use recent papers for timing: Solve the last two or three years under exam conditions.
- Use older papers for topics: Note which chapters repeat across years.
- Check with the official key: Match answers with AMU’s published key, not only the source’s answers.
- Revise weak areas: Keep an error log and revisit it each week.
- Do not skip short sections: General Knowledge and Indo-Islamic Culture can add easy marks.
Common mistakes to avoid
Many students download dozens of PDFs and never finish one. It is better to solve five papers properly and review every mistake. Also avoid papers with no year or course name, and do not trust answer sheets that do not match the official key. Finally, read the admission guide for the year you apply, as eligibility and test details can change.
