Start Your COMPEX Exam Preparation

Welcome to the COMPEX Scholarship Exam Practice Portal. The COMPEX exam is the gateway to a fully funded undergraduate scholarship from the Embassy of India. To help you succeed, we offer full-length mock tests that follow the pattern of the actual Computer-Based Test (CBT), with the same subjects and number of questions.

Before you begin, please select your target stream. The PCM Stream (Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, English) is for students applying for Engineering (B.Tech/BE). The PCB Stream (Physics, Chemistry, Biology, English) is for students applying for Pharmacy, Agriculture, Food Technology, and Nursing. Choose your stream below to access 10 complete model sets, each containing 120 questions and a strict 3-hour timer.

How our practice sets are built

Each of the ten model sets follows the subject pattern explained in our COMPEX syllabus guide: 30 questions each in English, Physics and Chemistry for every candidate, plus 30 in Mathematics for PCM or 30 in Biology for PCB. A set therefore holds 150 questions, and you see the 120 that match your stream. Every question is multiple choice with four options.

We write the questions ourselves around the topics in the published COMPEX syllabus and the Class 11 and 12 ideas those topics rest on, such as the meter bridge and potentiometer under current electricity. Each English section includes a short reading passage with comprehension questions, followed by grammar and vocabulary items. The sets rise in difficulty, so Set 1 is the gentlest starting point and Set 10 the most demanding.

These are model papers, not past papers or official questions. The real exam may differ in difficulty, wording and the weight given to each topic, so use the sets to build speed, accuracy and stamina rather than to guess what will appear.

Two ways to practise

Full exam simulation gives you all 120 questions with one three-hour timer. You can move freely between questions, flag the ones you want to revisit and submit when you are done. Your answers are saved in the browser as you go, so an accidental refresh on the same device does not wipe your progress.

Subject practice takes the 30 questions of one subject and allows one minute per question. The limit is deliberately tight: it trains you to decide and move on, which is the habit most students lack the first time they sit a timed paper. Use it to work on one weak subject at a time without committing three hours.

How scoring works

Each correct answer earns one point, and your score is shown out of the number of questions in that attempt, together with a percentage. Wrong and unanswered questions both score zero, but the results screen counts them separately and gives a correct, wrong and skipped breakdown for every subject. Answers stay hidden while you practise; after you submit, the answer review shows your choice beside the correct option for every question.

Our tests do not deduct marks for wrong answers. The official marking scheme, including whether the real exam uses negative marking, is decided by the exam authorities, so read it in the official notice and on your admit card, and practise with the same guessing rule you will use on the day.

Attempts and scores are stored in your own browser rather than in an account. Clearing your browser data, or switching to another phone or computer, starts your history from scratch.

A study approach that gets the most from ten sets

Ten sets are a limited resource. Rush through them in the first week and you will have nothing fresh left for the final stretch. We suggest spreading them across your preparation in three phases.

  1. Diagnose: sit Set 1 as a full simulation early on, without special preparation. The subject breakdown shows where your next few weeks should go.
  2. Repair: use subject practice from the following sets on your weakest subject, and keep an error notebook that records the concept behind each wrong answer, not only the correct letter.
  3. Rehearse: in the last weeks, sit the remaining sets as full three-hour simulations, ideally at the same time of day as your exam shift, and review each one completely before taking the next.

Tip: A set you have reviewed properly is worth more than two sets you only scored. Spend at least as long reviewing a full paper as you spent sitting it.

Reading your results

A single percentage hides most of what a mock can tell you. Start with the subject breakdown. Because every subject carries the same number of questions, a weak subject costs you exactly as much as a strong one earns, and English is often where marks can be gained fastest.

Next, compare wrong answers with skipped ones. Many wrong answers in a subject usually point to a concept gap or careless reading, while many skips usually point to speed. The remedies differ: concept gaps need textbook revision, and speed improves with timed subject practice. Finally, look at how much of the three hours you used. Finishing very early with a modest score often means questions were rushed.

What these tests can and cannot tell you

Your score measures progress against our own questions. It is not a prediction of your COMPEX rank, which depends on the real paper and on how every other candidate performs that year. Exam dates, shifts, centres and rules come only from the Embassy of India, Kathmandu; we summarise those notices on our updates page and link to the originals.

COMPEX Practice FAQs

Are the COMPEX practice tests free?

Yes. All ten model sets and the subject practice mode are free, and you do not need to create an account to use them.

Are these real COMPEX exam questions?

No. They are model questions we wrote to follow the published syllabus and the subject pattern of the exam. They are for practice only and are not taken from official papers.

Which stream should I choose, PCM or PCB?

Choose PCM if you are applying for BE or B.Tech, and PCB for B. Pharmacy, B.Sc. Nursing, B.Sc. Agriculture or B.Sc. Food Technology. If your two course choices fall in different streams, practise both; you can switch stream on the dashboard at any time.

Is there negative marking in the practice tests?

No. Wrong answers score zero, the same as skipped ones. Check the official notice and your admit card for the marking rules of the real exam before deciding how much to guess.

Can I retake a model set?

Yes. You can sit any set again, and the dashboard shows your best score for each set in your chosen stream. Leave a gap of a few weeks before a retake so that you are testing understanding rather than memory.

Will I lose my progress if I close the browser?

A full exam in progress is saved in your browser, so you can usually continue on the same device. Completed attempts are kept there too. Clearing site data or using a private window removes them.
