CUET UG 2025 revised exam pattern
This year, CUET UG 2025, the exam will be conducted exclusively in Computer-Based Test (CBT) mode. A key change this year is that students are no longer restricted to choosing subjects based on their Class 12 curriculum—they can opt for any subject, regardless of their previous studies.
Additionally, the total number of subjects available for selection has been reduced from 63 to 37. This includes 13 languages and 23 domain-specific subjects. For courses that previously mapped to removed subjects, admissions will now be based on scores from the General Aptitude Test instead.
Among the subjects removed from CUET UG are Entrepreneurship, Teaching Aptitude, Legal Studies, Fashion Studies, Tourism, and Engineering Graphics.
The CUET UG 2025 exam will be conducted in a Computer-Based Test (CBT) format, where students will answer multiple-choice questions (MCQs) on a computer screen.
The exam is divided into three sections. Section 1 focuses on language proficiency, allowing candidates to choose from 13 languages. It assesses reading comprehension, vocabulary, and grammar skills. Section 2 covers domain-specific subjects, where students can select from 23 subjects based on their academic interests. The questions are designed according to the Class 12 syllabus, ensuring relevance to students’ prior studies. Section 3 is the General Test, which evaluates general knowledge, current affairs, logical reasoning, and quantitative aptitude. This section is particularly important for courses that do not require subject-specific assessments.
All questions in the CUET UG 2025 exam will be objective-type, multiple-choice questions (MCQs). Candidates must select the correct option from the given choices, ensuring a straightforward answering process.
The marking scheme follows a structured pattern. Each correct answer is awarded 5 marks, while 1 mark is deducted for every incorrect response due to negative marking. To accommodate students from different linguistic backgrounds, the question paper will be available in English and 12 regional languages. This ensures accessibility for candidates across India.
