CUET Topper 2022: Anushka Gautam Says Be Well Versed With NCERT To Clear CUET 2023
CUET 2022 Topper Anushka Gautam got into her dream college SRCC by revising the NCERT syllabus. She also suggests aspirants give equal time to both self-study and coaching. "I believe that a combination of both should be made, coaching should be supplemented by the requisite amount of self-study and a right balance should be maintained between both to achieve optimum results." The National Testing Agency (NTA) will begin the CUET 2023 Exam from May 21 onwards. The testing agency also released the CUET Admit Card 2023 today; i.e. May 19, 2023.

Q. How much time did you devote to self-study? What do you feel is better, coaching or self-study?
A. I devoted about 9-10 hours each day towards self-study which involved revising, attempting mock papers and questions for practice and attending coaching classes. I believe that a combination of both should be made, coaching should be supplemented by the requisite amount of self-study and a right balance should be maintained between both to achieve optimum results.

Q. How did you prepare for CUET UG, just a month before the exam?
A. As my CUET exams started drifting closer, I started solving more and more mock question papers each day. In the morning, I used to practice solving mock papers. In the afternoon I would take coaching classes which were followed by self-study throughout the day, with sufficient breaks in between.
Q. How many domain tests did you appear in the CUET exam?
A. I appeared for five domain tests in the CUET exam which were Accountancy, English, Economics, Business Studies and Mathematics.
Q. Which subject is your strong one and which is the weakest? Are NCERT books sufficient for preparations?
Candidates must reach alloted CUET exam centre two hours before mentioned exam time. Candidates must complete verification process and take their seats immediately after opening of examination hall. If the candidates does not report at alloted CUET exam centre on time due to traffic, delay in transport, they will miss out on important instructions to appear for the exam.
A. English, Accountancy and Business Studies were amongst my strongest subjects. Mathematics was my weakest subject. I consistently practiced the areas of my strength, while working my way slowly through the weak areas. I focussed on easier topics first in my weaker subjects and then proceeded towards the harder ones, in order to ensure better and greater coverage of the syllabus.
Q. When it came to exam day, what was your strategy? According to you, what was the toughest and easiest section?
A. On the exam day, I revised the concise notes I had prepared and the important topics. I remained calm, because it is essential for this exam, in order for one to give their best. The toughest section was mathematics. I found all subjects to be moderately challenging, and none to be particularly easy.
Q. Which all universities did you apply for? What was your dream college?
A. I applied for a Bachelor of Commerce (hon.) in several colleges in Delhi University. Initially, I applied abroad as well and received offers of admission, but changed my plans later on and decided to pursue my higher studies in India. My dream college was SRCC.
Q. To whom do you attribute your successful CUET topper journey? What would you suggest to future CUET aspirants in terms of preparation, attitude etc?
A. I attribute my success to my parents as well as my tuition and school teachers. Without them, I would not have been where I am today. I would suggest the CUET aspirants to read the questions carefully, and to practise this technique while attempting mock test papers too. They should be well versed with the NCERT. Secondly, remain calm and composed during the exam, with a focus on the present, without thinking about the future, results, etc. While doing revision, try and review the mistakes you have made while attempting the mock papers. Try correcting those and try not to repeat them. Have faith in the process and you will succeed!
