NUST NET MCQs by Subject: Mathematics, Physics & English Sample Questions

NUST NET-Engineering tests exactly three subjects — Mathematics, Physics and English, weighted roughly 50/30/20 — with no Chemistry section (Chemistry belongs to NET-Applied Sciences, not NET-Engineering). Here's a sample MCQ set from each of the three, so you know what each section actually looks like before you start timed practice.

Mathematics

1. The roots of the quadratic equation x² − 5x + 6 = 0 are:

• A) 1 and 6
• B) 2 and 3 ✅
• C) -2 and -3
• D) 5 and 6

2. The derivative of sin(x) with respect to x is:

• A) cos(x) ✅
• B) -cos(x)
• C) -sin(x)
• D) tan(x)

3. A line with slope m = 2 passing through (0, 3) has the equation:

• A) y = 2x + 3 ✅
• B) y = 3x + 2
• C) y = 2x − 3
• D) y = x + 2

Physics

4. A body moving with uniform velocity has an acceleration of:

• A) Zero ✅
• B) Constant but non-zero
• C) Increasing
• D) Equal to its velocity

5. The work done by a force is the product of the force and:

• A) Time
• B) Displacement in the direction of the force ✅
• C) Mass
• D) Velocity

6. In a simple series circuit, the current:

• A) Varies at different points in the circuit
• B) Is the same at every point in the circuit ✅
• C) Is highest near the battery only
• D) Depends on resistor colour

English

7. Choose the correctly punctuated sentence:

• A) "Its a long way to the test centre."
• B) "It's a long way to the test centre." ✅
• C) "Its' a long way to the test centre."
• D) "It is' a long way to the test centre."

8. Choose the word closest in meaning to "meticulous":

• A) Careless
• B) Careful and precise ✅
• C) Fast
• D) Lazy

9. Identify the correctly formed sentence:

• A) "He don't know the answer."
• B) "He doesn't know the answer." ✅
• C) "He not know the answer."
• D) "He didn't knows the answer."

Why the 50/30/20 Split Matters for How You Practise

Because Mathematics carries roughly half the weight of NET-Engineering, it's usually where additional practice time pays off fastest — but Physics and English sections are scored equally per question, so neither should be left to the last week. For the topic-level breakdown within each subject, see our NUST NET syllabus breakdown.
