Candidates can check the subject-wise CUET UG Question Paper 2026:
Difficulty Level: Moderate.
Compulsory Section: A significant change for 2026 is that students must attempt all 50 questions in 60 minutes (the 40/50 optional format from previous years has been removed).
Sectional Dominance: Quantitative Aptitude and Reasoning took up about 35–40 questions, with General Knowledge (GK) and Current Affairs making up the remainder.
This section was mostly formula-based but slightly time-consuming due to calculations.
High Weightage Topics: * Arithmetic: Time & Work, Percentage, Profit & Loss, and Simple/Compound Interest.
Mensuration: 2D and 3D geometry questions (mostly direct formula applications).
Number System: Divisibility rules, LCM, and HCF.
Tricky Parts: A few questions on Permutations & Combinations and Probability were noted as moderate.
Reported as the most scoring section of the paper.
Key Topics Asked:
Blood Relations: Direct and family tree-based questions.
Clocks & Calendars: Standard problems (e.g., finding the day for a specific date).
Series: Missing number and alphanumeric series.
Non-Verbal Reasoning: Mirror images and embedded figures.
Analysis: Most questions were direct and didn't involve complex puzzles, making them quick to solve for prepared students.
While direct, this section was described as "fact-heavy."
Static GK: Dominated by Indian History (Chronology of Modern History), Geography (Rivers/Waterfalls), and Polity (Fundamental Rights/Articles).
Current Affairs: Primarily focused on events from 2024–2025.
Sample Questions Mentioned: Queries regarding state borders, vitamins/acids in foods, and historical dates (like the formation of Indian states).
Summary - "The paper was fair. If you've practiced NCERT-level math and basic SSC-style reasoning, you could comfortably finish within the 60-minute window. GK was the only part where you either knew it or you didn't."
Difficulty: Moderate to Hard | Focus: Class 12 NCERT
