CUET 2026 Preparation Guide: How AI Tools Are Changing the Game

CUET (Common University Entrance Test) is now the gateway to 250+ central universities including DU, JNU, BHU, and Jamia. With lakhs of students competing, smart preparation matters more than ever.

Here's the complete strategy for CUET 2026 — including how AI tools can give you an edge that most students don't have yet.

Understanding CUET 2026 Structure

Key insight: You don't need to take all sections. Choose based on the universities and courses you're applying to. Check each university's requirements before deciding.

Section-Wise Strategy

Section I: Language

English:

• Focus on reading comprehension speed — practice reading 500-word passages and answering 10 questions in 8 minutes
• Grammar: tenses, voice, narration, subject-verb agreement
• Vocabulary: learn 10 new words daily for 3 months = 900 words
• Practice with NCERT English textbooks (Flamingo, Vistas for Class 12)

Hindi (if applicable):

• NCERT Hindi textbooks are the primary source
• Focus on unseen passages (apathit gadyansh)
• Grammar: samas, sandhi, alankar, muhavare

AI tip: Use EaseLearn's AI chat to practice comprehension — paste a passage and ask the AI to generate CUET-style questions on it. Instant practice material.

Section II: Domain Subjects

This is where most marks are won or lost. Strategy varies by subject:

For Science subjects (Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Math):

• NCERT Class 12 is the primary source (CUET is NCERT-based, not JEE/NEET level)
• Difficulty is moderate — between board exam and competitive exam level
• Focus on conceptual clarity, not advanced problem-solving
• Use EaseLearn's camera solver for instant doubt clearing on NCERT problems

For Commerce subjects (Accountancy, Business Studies, Economics):

• NCERT is everything. Read line by line.
• Accountancy: practice journal entries, ledger, and financial statements
• Business Studies: memorize definitions, principles, and functions
• Economics: understand graphs and diagrams (use EaseLearn to verify your understanding)

For Humanities (History, Political Science, Geography, Sociology, Psychology):

• Pure NCERT. No external sources needed.
• Make chapter-wise notes with key dates, events, and concepts
• Use flashcards (Anki) for memorization
• Practice MCQs — CUET is entirely MCQ-based

AI tip: After studying a chapter, use EaseLearn's quiz generator to test yourself. The AI creates CUET-pattern MCQs that test the same concepts in different ways.

Section III: General Test

Covers:

• General Knowledge / Current Affairs
• General Mental Ability (logical reasoning)
• Numerical Ability (basic math)
• Quantitative Reasoning
• Logical and Analytical Reasoning

Strategy:

• GK/Current Affairs: read a daily news summary for 15 minutes (use AI to generate weekly current affairs quizzes)
• Reasoning: practice 20 questions daily from any reasoning book or app
• Numerical ability: basic arithmetic, percentages, ratios — Class 10 level math
• This section is the easiest to improve with consistent daily practice

The 90-Day CUET Preparation Plan

Month 1: Complete Syllabus (NCERT Focus)

• Read NCERT textbooks for all your chosen domain subjects
• Make concise notes (or use EaseLearn's notes generator)
• Solve NCERT exercise questions
• Start daily GK/current affairs reading

Month 2: Practice & Testing

• Solve CUET previous year papers (2022-2025)
• Take subject-wise mock tests weekly
• Use EaseLearn AI quizzes for daily practice
• Focus on weak areas identified by quiz analytics
• Practice reading comprehension daily (15 minutes)

Month 3: Revision & Mock Tests

• Full-length mock tests (2 per week, timed)
• Revise notes and formula sheets
• Clear remaining doubts using EaseLearn camera solver
• Practice time management — CUET's time pressure is real
• Light revision in the last week. Sleep well.

Daily Schedule for CUET Preparation

Common CUET Mistakes to Avoid

1. Studying at JEE/NEET level: CUET is NCERT-based. Don't over-prepare with reference books. Stick to NCERT.

2. Ignoring the General Test: Many students focus only on domain subjects. The General Test is easy marks if you practice daily.

3. Poor time management: 45 minutes for 40 questions = ~67 seconds per question. Practice speed.

4. Not reading university requirements: Different universities accept different CUET sections. Check requirements BEFORE choosing your sections.

5. Skipping language section prep: Students assume English/Hindi is easy. The comprehension passages can be tricky under time pressure. Practice.

6. Not taking mock tests: CUET's online format is different from board exams. Practice on a computer/tablet, not just paper.

FAQ

Q: Is CUET harder than board exams?
A: CUET is slightly harder than CBSE boards but easier than JEE/NEET. The questions are NCERT-based but require deeper understanding than board-level questions. If you've prepared well for boards, you need 1-2 months of additional CUET-specific practice.

Q: How many subjects should I choose for CUET?
A: Choose based on the universities you're targeting. Most students take 3-4 domain subjects + language + general test. Don't take more than you can prepare for — quality over quantity.

Q: Is coaching necessary for CUET?
A: No. CUET is NCERT-based, and free resources (NCERT + AI tools + PYQs) are more than sufficient. Save your money.

Q: Can I prepare for CUET and board exams simultaneously?
A: Yes — there's significant overlap since both are NCERT-based. Prepare for boards first (they come earlier), then shift focus to CUET-specific practice (MCQ format, time management, General Test).

Q: What score do I need for DU admission?
A: Cutoffs vary by college and course. Top DU colleges typically require 700+ out of 800 in relevant sections. Check previous year cutoffs for your target college and course.
