Syllabus
The CUET UG syllabus, turned into a study plan
Use the official NTA bulletin as the scope, then use practice to find what you actually know. This guide maps the sections, explains how to read the bulletin, and links every subject to the questions available here.

Read the official syllabus first
NTA publishes the authoritative syllabus and any changes in the current information bulletin. This page is an editorial guide, not a replacement for that document. The summary below was last reviewed on 4 Nov 2026.
Subject map
These are the subject areas active in the question bank. The count beside each subject is the number of questions you can practise right now, not an official exam weightage.
Language sections
Reading comprehension, vocabulary, grammar and verbal ability. Pick one language and practise it consistently.
Domain subjects
Subject knowledge drawn from the class 12 curriculum. Your choices depend on the university programme you are targeting.
General Test
General awareness, current events, quantitative reasoning, logical reasoning and data interpretation.
Turn the syllabus into a weekly plan
Step 1
Mark the scope
Print or copy the official unit list. Tick only the units that appear in the current bulletin. Delete rumours and last year's extra chapters.
Step 2
Diagnose before you revise
Take one timed paper early. The score matters less than the section breakdown: it tells you which units deserve the next two weeks.
Step 3
Study in exam units
Group chapters the way the paper groups them. A language section rewards speed and vocabulary; a domain section rewards recall and application. Study differently for each.
Step 4
Re-test, don't re-read
End each week with a timed section. Review every wrong answer in the solutions, then note whether the cause was a concept gap, a reading error or a guess.
What the syllabus does not tell you
- Chapter weightage. Official documents rarely publish a fixed number of questions per chapter. Treat social-media weightage charts as guesses and let timed practice reveal where marks actually come from.
- Question difficulty. The same unit can be tested at recall level or application level. A mock with a written solution shows you the difference.
- University eligibility. NTA conducts the test; universities set programme requirements. Read both before locking your subject combination.
Frequently asked questions
Where is the official CUET UG syllabus?
NTA publishes the authoritative syllabus in the information bulletin for the current session at cuet.nta.nic.in. This page does not reproduce that document; it explains how to read it and how to practise against it.
Does this site cover the entire syllabus?
Not yet. The practice library grows paper by paper, and the subject cards below show how many questions are available today. Every mock lists its own sections, duration and marking scheme before you start.
Which language section should I choose?
Choose a language you have studied and can read at speed. The official bulletin lists the languages offered in the current session. Practise reading comprehension and grammar in that language rather than switching late in your preparation.
How do domain subjects and university eligibility interact?
The subjects you can choose depend on the programme and university you are applying to. Check the university's eligibility rules alongside the NTA bulletin, because a subject that is allowed by NTA may still not satisfy a particular course requirement.
Are NCERT textbooks enough for the domain subjects?
NCERT books are a sensible baseline for many domain subjects, but the official syllabus defines the scope and the university may add eligibility conditions. Use the syllabus as a checklist, then practise with questions to find gaps.
How do I practise one subject on this site?
Open the subject card below. Each subject page lists available papers and the size of the practice library. You can also filter the full mock list by paper type.
Put the syllabus to work
Start with a timed paper, then use the section analysis to decide what to study next.
