I want to prepare for cuet ug 2026

Preparing for the CUET UG 2026 is a smart move, especially while you're navigating your Class XII board exams. The CUET syllabus for domain subjects is strictly based on the NCERT Class 12 curriculum, your board preparation already covers the majority of the groundwork.

Know the Exam Pattern

The exam is a Computer Based Test (CBT) consisting of three main sections. For a science student, the focus is:

Languages (e.g., English, Hindi)

Attempt 40 out of 50

45 mins per language

Section II

Domain Subjects (Physics, Chemistry, Maths)

Attempt 40 out of 50

45–60 mins per subject

Section III

General Test (Aptitude, GK, Reasoning)

Attempt 50 out of 60

60 minutes

Master the NCERTs

The domain section is based on Class 12 NCERT, treat these textbooks as your "Bible."

• Physics/Chemistry: Focus on the back-of-chapter exercises and "In-text" questions. Many CUET questions are direct adaptations of these.

• Maths: Practice speed. The challenge in CUET isn't just solving the problem, but solving it within 60 seconds.

Bridge the "Aptitude Gap"

Section III (General Test) covers topics you haven't studied in school since Class 8.

• Quantitative Aptitude: Refresh basic Arithmetic, Algebra, and Geometry (Class 8–10 level).

• Logical Reasoning: Practice puzzles, number series, and coding-decoding.

• Current Affairs: Spend 15 minutes daily reading a news summary or using an app to stay updated on national and international events.

Mock Test Marathon

CUET is a race against time.

• Start taking full-length mock tests at least once a week to get used to the CBT interface.

• Analyze your errors: Maintain a "Mistake Notebook" to track where you lose marks. Is it lack of knowledge or a calculation error?
