Chemistry is also one of the major domain subjects for CUET, which is scheduled on May 2025. And on top of that Class 12 board exams would also commence on March 2025, which is equally important to students. That means now is the best time to begin planning a strategy that you may follow after the board exams have been finished.

Background wave

With our help, candidates can prepare for CUET 2025 Chemistry in 1 month with ease. Below, we have prepared a 3-stage strategy for final preparation of Class 12 Chemistry domain paper in CUET (UG) - 2025.

How to Prepare for CUET Chemistry 2025 in 1 Month

Applicants can check the step-by-step plan to study Chemistry for the CUET exam 2025 below.

Step 1: Understand the Syllabus Properly

The CUET 2025 Chemistry paper should not be prepared without the prior knowledge of the exam scope. The CUET Chemistry syllabus 2025 covers topics that are important and topics that are part of the CUET Chemistry syllabus. However, first, let us look at a very simple Venn diagram of how the CUET syllabus fits within the ecosystem of exams students will be taking within the next 2-3 months. To strengthen your preparation, reviewing CUET Chemistry PYQ and solving a CUET Chemistry mock test can provide valuable practice and insight.

Representation of how Class 12 boards syllabus sits with major competitive exams

The CUET syllabus 2025 sits in the middle spot. Every serious JEE/NEET aspirant who has been studying NCERT Class 12 syllabus for at least two years must have already covered the CUET syllabus. Otherwise, students have to cover some deleted topics of their respective boards to be ready for the CUET exam.

Students need to understand the NCERT Class 12 textbook chapters or topics that they have not studied as all boards are operating under reduced syllabuses in 2022-23. Below is a chapter-by-chapter and topic-by-topic breakdown of the CUET Chemistry syllabus provided by NTA for the CUET 2025 paper according to the topics that will be covered (✔) or not covered

( * ) for the 2021-22 in IIT, NEET, CBSE, ISC or UP boards.

Some Key features of CUET Chemistry Syllabus 2025

  • From the above, we can conclude that the chapter, General Principles and Processes of Isolation of Elements, is seen to have maximum topics deleted from the board syllabus. So, it is possible that less MCQs will be asked from these chapters.

  • On the other hand, chapters based on carbon compounds like p-block Elements and d- and f-block Elements have many topics covered in all board syllabus, So, there is a good probability of MCQs being asked from these chapters.

  • Applicants have to attempt 40 MCQ out of 50, which means they will get a choice of 10 MCQ, which will get consumed in topics they have not studied in their board exam. So, they may not have enough choice after all.

  • ISC and UP board students are at a bigger disadvantage than CBSE board in terms of readiness for CUET Chemistry paper 2025.

2. Chapter-wise Practice

The next important step to include in your meticulous strategy is creating a time table according to the official resources and syllabus. With the help of the official NTA CUET Chemistry mock test, we have analysed that the CUET 2025 paper pattern is going to be on a medium level, which means that the NCERT Exemplars will be of great help for its preparation.

We have identified and compiled all the important chapter-wise MCQs from NCERT Exemplars for the relevant types from the CUET perspective.

Chapter-wise MCQs from NCERT Class 12 Chemistry Exemplar important for CUET

As you can see, the number of MCQs are randomly distributed among all the chapters. We have noticed that few of them are standalone, match the following, statement-based, reaction-based and case-based MCQs in the CUET Chemistry mock test paper. These questions have a similar difficulty level as the questions in the NCERT Chemistry Class 12 Exemplars.

Step 3 - CUET Mock Test Paper Chemistry On Exact Pattern

There was a short period of time when NTA uploaded the CUET mock test 2024 in April, but for some reason they were removed. But it was enough for us to conclude how challenging the actual CUET exam paper will be.

Applicants are encouraged to include two things in their preparation strategy – CUET Chemistry past years’ papers and CUET mock test papers (Solved and unsolved) in their CUET 2025 preparation strategy.

1. Past Years’ CUET Chemistry Papers

CUCET was conducted until 2022-23 using a similar MCQ pattern. CUCET was the predecessor to CUET. It is imperative that one practices previous year CUCET Chemistry question paper to know what type of questions were previously asked. However, there is a twist. Until last year, questions from Class 11 and Class 12 were included in the CUCET Chemistry exam, but this year only the syllabus from Class. Hence, we have compiled only the examinable Class 12 CUCET Chemistry past year papers (with solutions) past year papers.

The CUET Chemistry book by Edu cart provides past 4 year CUCET papers with solutions, making it easier for students to focus on relevancy.
