Educator's Tip: Choose subjects matching your Class 12 stream and university rules. Delhi University (DU) requires domain subjects aligned with Class 12. JNU often prioritizes General Test + Language/English. BHU emphasizes domain scores for sciences & social sciences. Always verify university-specific eligibility on their official portal before applying.

Language Mastery

Read daily editorials from The Hindu, Indian Express, or The Quint. Focus on inference-based RC (factual, literary, narrative passages) + vocab speed.

Domain Excellence

NCERT Class 12 is your bible. Cover the full CUET syllabus (even topics deleted from boards). Solve past CUET papers + NTA samples religiously.

General Test Tactics

Build mental math speed: Percentages, Ratios, Averages, Profit-Loss, Time-Speed. Cover current affairs (Aug 2025 – April 2026). Practice puzzles, seating arrangements, syllogisms daily.
