CUET (Common University Entrance Test) UG is conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA) for undergraduate admissions to all 45 central universities in India — including Delhi University, BHU, JNU, Jamia Millia Islamia, and the University of Hyderabad. It has replaced Class 12 board percentage as the primary admissions criterion. Scoring high in CUET is now the single most important factor for getting into DU and other top central universities.
Reading comprehension, vocabulary, grammar, and verbal reasoning in the candidate's chosen language. Available in 13 languages including English, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Marathi, Gujarati, Punjabi, Bengali, Urdu, Assamese, Odia, and Malayalam. Required by most DU programmes.
19 additional languages for candidates who need to demonstrate proficiency in a specific medium required by their target university or programme. Includes Sanskrit, Kashmiri, Sindhi, Konkani, Nepali, Maithili, Dogri, Bodo, Santhali, and others. Required only for certain language-specific programmes.
The most critical section for most applicants. Choose up to 6 domain subjects from 27 options including Accountancy, Economics, Business Studies, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, History, Political Science, Geography, Psychology, and more. Universities specify which domain subjects are required for each programme.
General Knowledge, current affairs, general mental ability, numerical aptitude, quantitative reasoning, and logical reasoning. Required by programmes like B.Com, BMS, BBA at DU and by several other central universities for their interdisciplinary programmes. The GRADSKOOL General Test mocks cover all these areas comprehensively.
CUET UG is not a knowledge test — it's a speed and accuracy test. The questions are based on NCERT content, but the pace required (40–60 questions in 45–60 minutes) means students who haven't practised in timed conditions consistently underperform. Full-length mocks are the most effective preparation tool.

CUET UG Eligibility Criteria
CUET UG is open to all Class 12 students and graduates. Eligibility is straightforward — the challenge is entirely the exam and score.
Passed or appearing in Class 12 (10+2) from any recognised board. Final year students can apply provisionally. Graduates can also apply for certain programmes.
No minimum percentage is required to appear in CUET UG. However, individual universities set their own academic eligibility for specific programmes — check your target university before applying.
No upper age limit for CUET UG. Any candidate who meets the educational qualification can register. Individual universities may impose their own age criteria for specific programmes.
No limit on the number of CUET UG attempts. Candidates can appear every year as long as they meet the educational qualification. Scores are valid only for the cycle in which they are obtained.
Candidates choose sections based on their target universities. Up to 6 domain subjects can be chosen in Section II. Always check which sections each target university requires before registering.
Registration on the NTA CUET portal at exams.nta.ac.in/CUET-UG. Fee varies by number of subjects and category. DU admission is handled separately via the CSAS portal after results are declared.

Top Universities Accepting CUET UG
Every central university in India is now mandated to use CUET UG for admissions. Here are the most targeted institutions and the programmes most students apply for.
DU is the primary target for most CUET aspirants. Delhi University's top colleges — SRCC, Hindu, Hansraj, Lady Shri Ram, St. Stephen's — all admit exclusively through CUET. A strong CUET score is now the only variable that matters for DU admissions.
Section requirements vary by programme within each university. Always verify exact section combinations required for your target programme and university on the official NTA CUET portal before registering for the exam.
Frequently Asked Questions
CUET UG (Common University Entrance Test — Undergraduate) is conducted by NTA for admissions to all 45 central universities and 200+ other universities across India. For Delhi University, CUET has completely replaced Class 12 board marks as the admissions criterion — your percentage no longer matters. Only your CUET score determines which DU college and programme you get. This makes CUET the single most important exam for students targeting DU, BHU, JNU, and other central universities.
It depends on your target university and programme. Most DU programmes require Section IA (Language) + Section II (Domain subjects relevant to your programme) + Section III (General Test — required for B.Com, BMS, BBA programmes). Check the university-specific section requirements on the CUET portal before registering. You can choose up to 6 domain subjects in Section II — choose only those required by your target programmes.
CUET UG questions are based on NCERT content — so most students feel they already know the material. The real challenge is speed and accuracy: 40–60 questions in 45–60 minutes with +5/−1 marking. Students who haven't practised under timed conditions consistently underperform — they run out of time or make careless errors under pressure. Full-length mocks replicate the exact CBT interface, time pressure, and question distribution so exam day feels routine rather than stressful.
CUET UG uses +5 for every correct answer and −1 for every wrong answer. Unanswered questions score 0. This means selective, high-accuracy attempts are more important than attempting every question. A wrong answer costs you 6 marks relative to a correct one (+5 vs −1). GRADSKOOL's mocks are built on this exact marking scheme so you develop the right attempt strategy during practice.
CUET at GRADSKOOL has three offerings — free tools (always available on the Tools page), online mocks at ₹999, and the complete Mocks + 8 Books package at ₹3,499.
