Q. When did you start preparing for CUET Exam? What all books did you refer to?
A. I started preparing for CUET Exam 2022 after my boards. Since the syllabi of the boards and the CUET were almost the same and we had appeared in the first term exams in the MCQ format, I had some rough ideas on how to go about with the preparation. As for the books, NCERTs are the main ones. Besides, I also referred to Oswaal and Arihant for test papers. Reading newspapers helped me in the language domain. YouTube videos were also quite a help in my preparation.

Q. How much time did you devote to self-study? What do you feel is better, coaching or self-study?
A. I started preparing after my 12th board exams and preferred self-study; I did not opt for any coaching. Since questions in the CUET exam stick to the syllabus, I feel the NCERT books and free online study material available are good enough. So self-study will suffice.

Check the notice before you rely on it. You must qualify JEE Main or CUET for UPTAC. A news report says only candidates with a valid JEE Main 2026 rank could register. The special rounds list CUET (UG) 2026 along with JEE Main. So CUET may help only in some rounds. JEE Main is the safe choice.
