Shiksha: Congratulations on your score. Tell us about yourself!

Yasharth: My name is Yasharth Krishn. I am an aspirant with a strong interest in Biology and the medical sciences. Throughout my preparation, I focused on consistency, disciplined study, and strengthening my NCERT concepts. Scoring well in CUET UG 2026 has been a rewarding experience.

This is my second attempt in CUET UG.

Shiksha: You have scored 100 percentile in Biology and 99 percentile in Chemistry & Physics. What was your reaction when you first saw your scorecard?

CUET 2026 Scorecard (Yasharth Krishn)

Shiksha: How did you balance CUET preparation with Class 12 boards exam?

Yasharth: Since the Class 12 syllabus and CUET syllabus overlap significantly, I prepared both together. I prioritized NCERT, revised regularly, and solved mock tests after completing each topic, as both the CUET and NEET both have a very similar syllabus. So I solved more mocks with the help of NEET PYQs also.

Shiksha: What motivated you to aim for a competitive score in CUET UG 2026?

Yasharth: I wanted to secure admission to a top university like Delhi University or BHU and believed that a strong CUET score would open more opportunities.

Shiksha: What was your overall strategy for CUET UG preparation?

Yasharth: I was completely dependent on the NCERT, as there is a saying that for CUET UG aspirants, NCERT books are their GEETA or Quran. So I revise my NCERT biology daily. In the morning, my first strategy was always to read a minimum of 1 unit of biology in a limited time.

Shiksha: Did you rely entirely on self-study, or did you enroll in any offline/online classes?

Yasharth: I combined self-study with coaching guidance. Coaching helped me stay on track, while self-study and revision played the biggest role in improving my performance. In my first drop, I was preparing for NEET from Allen Institute. That knowledge helped me to crack CUET.

Shiksha: Are NCERT books sufficient for preparation? Would you suggest other students to take help from other books?

Yasharth: Yes. NCERT is the foundation for CUET, especially for Biology. Students should master NCERT first and then practice mock tests and previous-year papers.

Shiksha: When did you start preparing for the exam?

Yasharth: I started my preparation alongside my Class 12 studies and maintained a consistent study schedule throughout the year.

Shiksha: Which universities are you going to apply for?

Yasharth: I am planning to apply to Delhi University for B.Sc. Biotechnology.

Shiksha: What would you suggest to future CUET aspirants? 

Yasharth: Stay consistent, don't ignore NCERT, revise regularly, solve mock tests, and learn from your mistakes instead of getting discouraged. Use a stopwatch in solving questions and revise a particular chapter in a decided time, like read the bio chapter in 10-15 minutes. So that at the time of last month of preparation, you don't get panic. So get prepared mentally for the last-month situation. Always stay motivated guys !!!
