If you didn’t have Maths in Class 12 , you generally can’t choose it as a subject in CUET . The exam usually requires you to pick subjects you studied in 12th grade for the domain-specific tests.
However, you can still apply for many courses that don’t require Maths —just check the eligibility criteria for the universities you’re interested in. It’s always a good idea to review the specific requirements before selecting your subjects.
You should check on the official site for more information. CUET (https://cuet.nta.nic.in/)
