CBSE · NURSERY TO CLASS XII · DELHI NCR
The entrance test for most central university undergraduate courses, explained — and how to prepare without losing focus on the boards.
CUET (UG) — the Common University Entrance Test — is run by the National Testing Agency for admission to undergraduate courses at central universities, including Delhi University, and many others. It has language, domain-subject and general test sections, and the domain papers follow the Class 12 NCERT syllabus — so strong board preparation is most of CUET preparation.
