the Doctoral Entrance Test (DET) or any updates beyond September 2021. However, I can provide some general guidance on how to draft question papers for a Doctoral Entrance Test:

1. Consult with Subject Experts: Collaborate with professors and subject matter experts to ensure the question paper covers the relevant topics and assesses the candidate’s readiness for doctoral-level studies.

2. Review Previous Papers: If available, review previous years’ question papers to understand the format, question types, and difficulty levels.

3. Cover Core Concepts: Include questions that test the candidates’ understanding of fundamental concepts related to their field of study.

4. Incorporate Research Methodology: Consider including questions on research methodologies, as the doctoral program involves significant research work.

5. Emphasize Critical Thinking: Design questions that require candidates to apply critical thinking and analytical skills rather than rote memorization.

6. Balance Breadth and Depth: Ensure a balanced distribution of questions across various topics, covering both breadth and depth of the subject.

7. Avoid Ambiguity: Clearly word the questions to avoid any ambiguity or confusion during the exam.

8. Time Management: Set appropriate time limits for each section or question to help candidates manage their time effectively during the test.

9. Quality Assurance: Conduct a thorough review and proofreading process to eliminate errors and ensure the accuracy of the question paper.

10. Confidentiality and Security: Handle the question paper development process with utmost confidentiality to maintain the integrity of the test.

11. Pilot Testing: If possible, conduct a pilot test with a small group of test takers to identify any potential issues and make necessary adjustments.
