CUET UG Preparation

CUET UG Preparation Strategy

1. Start with the official syllabus

Map each selected language, domain subject and the General Aptitude Test against the official syllabus.

2. Prioritise the subjects required by target programmes

Because university and programme eligibility determines which CUET subjects are relevant, identify target programmes before finalising a subject combination.

3. Practise timed CBT-style questions

Each CUET test paper has a 60-minute duration. Practising under timed conditions can help candidates become familiar with the examination pace.

4. Use previous papers and official response material

Where official question-paper or recorded-response material is available, use it to understand the nature and wording of questions.

5. Revise systematically

For domain subjects, organise revision around the applicable NCERT syllabus. For languages, practise comprehension and vocabulary. For the General Aptitude Test, cover the notified reasoning, numerical, quantitative and general-awareness areas.

6. Account for negative marking

The 2026 marking scheme awards 5 marks for a correct answer and deducts 1 mark for an incorrect answer.
