CUET 2026 : 4 Answered Questions
Ques. My CUET total score is 280 out of 750, so which colleges should I go to?
Scoring 280 out of 750 in CUET will restrict your choices among the highly competitive central universities to some extent. But you have many more opportunities waiting for you at state, private, and part of the central universities—if you are willing to accept a range of courses and destinations. 280 out of 750 is equal to approximately 37%. Top-tier colleges such as DU, BHU, and JNU typically have their cutoffs significantly higher, typically even beyond 600, which makes it impossible to secure admission into their more demanding courses with this marking. But this doesn't leave you with nothing! There are plenty of other decent colleges with lower cutoffs and equally good education. Some Central and State Universities have comparatively lower competition, like the Central University of Haryana, Central University of Karnataka, Dr. Harisingh Gour Vishwavidyalaya (Sagar), Mahatma Gandhi Central University etc. They can offer admissions in general courses like BA, BSc, or BCom. Private Colleges and Universities The majority of the best private colleges accept CUET scores and offer relaxed cutoffs. Examples are colleges like KCC Institute of Technology & Management and other state board-associated private universities. University Type Likelihood of Admission Courses Likely Available Top Central Universities (DU, BHU, JNU, AMU) Very unlikely None (cutoffs much higher) Mid-/Lower-Tier Central/State Universities Possible General BA, BSc, BCom, etc. Private Universities/Colleges Good Wide range, including vocational Keep visiting the official university websites for the latest CUET cutoffs and admission rules. Applying to more than one university can work in your favor. Get ready to accept alternative campuses and pathways; sometimes the best opportunities can surprise you....Read More

Answer By Vinima Bhola 03 Jul 25Ques. I got low marks in CUET, but my UG marks and board marks fit the eligibility criteria. Is there any way I can get into NIT?
No, NIT admissions are not based on CUET scores. NITs accept only JEE Main scores for UG courses such as B.Tech. No matter how well you've done in your Class 12th board and have fulfilled the eligibility criteria, CUET is not acceptable for NIT admission. Here’s what you need to know: Criteria NIT Admission Requirement Entrance Exam JEE Main only CUET Score Not accepted Class 12th Marks Minimum 75% or top 20 percentile in respective board If your goal is to get into an NIT, appearing for JEE Main is a must.

In CUET UG, the difficulty level varies depending on your chosen subjects and academic background, but some sections are generally considered more challenging. However, Mathematics/Applied Mathematics, General Test (Logical Reasoning & Quantitative Aptitude), and Domain-Specific Subjects like Physics and Economics are often considered the toughest. These sections require strong analytical skills, conceptual clarity, and time management. You can focus on concept-building using NCERT textbooks, practice problem-solving, and take mock tests to improve speed and accuracy. For Mathematics, solve previous years’ papers and focus on application-based questions. Logical Reasoning requires consistent practice with puzzles and mock tests. For domain subjects, revise key concepts and practice MCQs.
Students attempting CUET make mistakes, such as neglecting time management, focusing too much on theory while ignoring practice, and underestimating mock tests. The candidate sometimes fails to analyze the previous year’s papers, leading to unfamiliarity with question patterns. On exam day, errors include misreading questions, not managing time effectively across sections, and panicking under pressure.
To avoid this, practice full-length mock tests in exam-like conditions and develop a strategy to allocate time efficiently. Focus on understanding concepts rather than rote learning and revise weak areas thoroughly. Staying calm and managing time can enhance performance on the examination.
Deciding between self-study and coaching for CUET UG preparation depends on your learning style, discipline, and the resources available. Both approaches can lead to a high score if done effectively. Self-study is ideal if you are self-disciplined and can stick to a study plan. You can use NCERT books, mock tests, and online resources like NTA Abhyas, CUET Samarth portal, and various institution resources. The self-study provides you with the flexibility to focus on weak areas and revise at your own pace. However, coaching is beneficial if you need structured guidance, expert insights, and peer interaction. Coaching provides regular tests, doubt-solving sessions, and time management strategies. It is ideal for students who prefer a systematic approach and need external motivation. A hybrid approach works well: self-study with online mock tests supplemented by selective coaching if needed, ensuring better concept clarity and practice.
