How to Use NTA Previous Year Question Papers
- Attempt one full paper in a single timed sitting before looking at any answers — a paper solved in pieces tells you nothing about your pace.
- Review every wrong answer and every lucky guess. A question you guessed correctly is still a gap.
- Work backwards from the most recent year. The latest paper reflects the current pattern most closely.
- Track which topics repeat. Across three to five years, most NTA exams reuse a recognisable core of topics.
- Note the marking scheme, especially negative marking, and practise deciding when not to attempt a question.
- Repeat a paper after a few weeks to check whether your weak areas have actually improved.
What You Get on Each Exam Page
Each exam page links to a year-wise page for every year available. A year page lists the question papers released for that exam — split by subject, session, shift or language where the exam was conducted that way — with each paper available as a direct PDF.
For exams held across many subjects or sessions, such as CUET PG, UGC NET and JEE Main, a single year can include well over a hundred separate papers. Where NTA has published an official answer key for a paper, it is listed with that paper.

Are these the official NTA question papers?
These are the actual papers used in NTA entrance exams. NTA’s own website is nta.ac.in — ntaexampapers.com is an independent study resource that collects these papers in one place for easier access.
Do I need an account to download the papers?
No. Papers open directly in your browser and can be downloaded without creating an account.
How should I use previous year question papers?
Attempt one paper in a single timed sitting under exam conditions, then review every question you got wrong or guessed. Working through three to five years of papers for your exam is usually enough to recognise the recurring topics and question styles.
New question papers are added as NTA releases them, so exams currently showing fewer years will be extended over time. Bookmark this page to find every NTA entrance exam question paper in one place.
