CUET Chemistry Difficulty Level

According to students' feedback from last year, the overall difficulty level of the Chemistry exam is usually more inclined towards being tough. Students have to remember formulas, tables, reactions, and so on, which sometimes makes it difficult for them to answer questions quickly. Also, solving formula based or application based questions is time-consuming, resulting in less time left to answer the rest of the questions. This year's CUET difficulty level will be updated here once the exam is over.
