Shahjalal University of Science & Technology admission test: chapter-wise analysis of past questions
How many questions each chapter gave, year by year. Read the chapters that come almost every year first, then practise that chapter's past questions.
Counted from the 386 questions of 3 papers (2019-20–2025-26) in our bank. Years with fewer than 30 questions in our bank are left out; some papers are still incomplete, so counts can be lower than in the real papers. 14 of these questions (general knowledge, Bangla and so on) belong to no chapter and are not listed below.
