Q. When did you start preparing for CUET Exam? What all books did you refer to?
A. I started taking small steps towards my preparation after my board exams towards CUET by starting with the major topics and revising them day by day because I had 7-8 hours of CA classes but the major issue came when I got to know that my exam is on the very first day of the CUET examination. I solved 3 whole MCQ books just three days before the exam for practice. I totally relied on NCERT and MCQ books.

Q. How much time did you devote to self-study? What do you feel is better, coaching or self-study?
A. I devoted around 3-4 hours daily and I personally think self-study is way better because I didn’t opt for coaching and got more time to mold the path of my preparation to my personalised way wherein I can give more focus to the topics which are the most important but anyways students might feel the need for coaching for English, General Test and Maths otherwise, no coaching is required for domain subjects.

Q. How did you prepare for CUET UG, just a month before the exam?
A. I think the key to preparation for CUET would definitely be how good the concepts of class 12 are and the major time utilization for the last month should be primarily focused on mocks and doing online mocks so that there should be no time issues in the examination, and hence I think one month will be more than enough for the preparation.

Q. Which subject is your strong one and which is the weakest? Are NCERT books sufficient for preparations?
A. My strongest subject is Accountancy and the subject I was most baffled by was English because I had no idea what type of questions will be asked in English. Yes, I think NCERT books will be enough for conceptual clarity but I would recommend refreshers for accountancy and economics for better practice questions and definitely solve as many MCQ books as you can.
Q. When it came to exam day, what was your strategy? According to you, what was the toughest and easiest section?
A. I had all my exams in one day and on my exam day I was totally focused on revising and brushing up the major concepts. According to me, the easiest section was English and I think no section was as hard but yes accountancy had some of the toughest questions.
Q. Which all universities did you apply for? What was your dream college?
A. I only applied for Delhi University and that too only for BCom (Hons.) and my dream college was definitely SRCC from class 9.
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 would definitely attribute my succes to my teachers and parents especially my mother who instilled a dream of studying at SRCC in me and motivating me throughout my journey and bringing me to my dream college. To all the future CUET aspirants, focus on consistency and do as much practice as you can and the make the most use of this chance and I hope everyone one of you should get your dream college, ALL THE BEST!

Yes, students can join SRCC with 85% marks, only if they clear the required CUET cut-off. It is mandatory for students to qualify the cut-off released by the institute for the admisson. Admission to various courses offered at SRCC is based on CUET entrance exam. The university seats are allocated through DU CSAS counselling. Aspirig candidates must fulfil the course-specific eligibility criteria set by the college. Hence, its your CUET score that matters more than the Class 12 last-qualified exam score.
