How many questions are in the CEE?

200 multiple-choice questions worth 1 mark each: Zoology 40, Botany 40, Chemistry 50, Physics 50 and MAT 20.

Is there negative marking in the CEE?

Yes. Each wrong answer deducts 0.25 marks. Unanswered questions score 0.

General and Physical Chemistry and Organic Chemistry have 17 questions each. Human Biology and Physiology has 15, and Modern Physics has 12.

Yes. MECEE-BL is one common entrance exam for MBBS, BDS, BSc Nursing and other bachelor-level health programs, using the same syllabus.

The Medical Education Commission publishes it on mec.gov.np. Always check there for the latest revision before your exam.
