The difficulty level of the CUET exam varies between moderate and tough. Since the CUET UG exam is held for multiple subjects and slots, the difficulty level of the exam varies from subject to subject. Sometimes, the difficulty level may also vary for different slots. While for the well-prepared candidates, the difficulty level will be low, for the underprepared students, the level of difficulty will be on the higher side.
From the year 2021 onwards, CUET is conducted in computer-based mode. Till 2020, the exam was conducted in paper-pencil based (PBT) mode. The exam will continue to be conducted in the computer-based mode or online mode. As per the CUET exam pattern, the exam was conducted in two to three slots, depending on the number of applications received in a subject. There were three sections on Language, Domain Subject and General Test (optional). The number of questions and marks will vary from paper to paper.

Commonly asked questions
To prepare well for the CUET UG and board examinations, candidates must:
- Start their preparations for CUET UG along with class 12th board examination. This will help students to cover the maximum syllabus for CUET.
- Candidates must make sure to be familiar with the CUET exam pattern and syllabus for the subjects they are planning to opt for.
- Candidates must know weak and strong topics by solving CUET mock tests or previous year question papers.
- Students must make sure to download the CUET question papers and analyse difficulty level of the exam
- Aspirants must select the best books for CUET UG preparation.
On analysing the CUET UG cut off for the academic year 2025-26, scoring above 700 marks can be considered a good score in CUET UG. Candidates scoring above 700 may fall in the category of 95+ percentile. Candidates can get admission to top central universities like University of Delhi, Banaras Hindu University, Jawaharlal Nehru University and other universities in the desired course. Given below is the range that is considered good for admission:
- Very Good Score: 700 and above
- Good Score: 650 and above
Q: When did you start preparing for CUET Exam? What all books did you refer to?
A: I started prepping whilst preparing for my board exams, highlighting one marker and concept clarity which I believe is the key to acing any competitive exam. I made Ncert my bible and for mock tests bought Arihant which came in handy.
Q: How much time did you devote to self-study? What do you feel is better, coaching or self-study?
A: A lot of days I procrastinated since after board exams I reached my saturation point while this is something less talked about ( my peer groups faced the same), overcoming this mental barrier was very important. I used emotion regulation techniques since procrastination is rooted in emotion regulation issues. I studied for around 2-3 hours a day using scientifically proven methods such as Feynman's technique, SQ3R, blurting, etc. For me self study was better but considering the neurodivergence there is no one size fits all.
Q: Which subject is your strong one and which is the weakest? Are NCERT books sufficient for preparations?
A: History and Psychology are my strong subjects and Economics is my weakest. For my subjects, NCERTs were more than enough except for economics for which I used Sandeep Garg as it is more structured.

Q: What was your exam day strategy? According to you, what was the toughest and easiest section?
A: One day before my exam I left all my books and enjoyed, took rest, ample sleep as the relaxed my brain would feel the better my performance would be. The toughest part was to sit for almost 3 hours straight in front of the screen and the easiest was the general test for which I didn’t study at all separately.
Q: Which all universities did you apply for? What was your dream college?
A: I applied for DU, and BHU, JMI being my backups. My aspired colleges are LSR, and Indraprastha College for Women.

Q: What are the courses you are looking forward to?
A: I am looking forward to pursuing my passion for psychology by taking BA (Hons) Psychology in undergrad.
Q: To whom would you like to attribute this success? What would you suggest to future CUET aspirants in terms of preparation, attitude, etc.?
A: I attribute my success to my dad and my school teachers, especially Kaushlendr Sir, my Psychology teacher, who instilled faith in me and saw something that even I couldn’t see in myself.
My piece of advice to the upcoming batch of cuet 2024 aspirants would be to devise a personalized plan of action while prepping for boards and execute them by overcoming procrastination using emotion regulation methods. ( a few ted talks on Youtube help!)
