Introduction: What is CUET?
The Common University Entrance Test (CUET) is a national-level entrance exam conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA) for admission to undergraduate courses in Central Universities and many other participating institutions across India. With the CUET 2025 expected to be even more competitive, planning and strategy are key to cracking the exam.
In this blog post, we’ll guide you through everything you need — from the CUET syllabus, to smart preparation tips and a daily study plan designed to maximize your score.
Why CUET Matters in 2025
CUET has changed the landscape of college admissions in India. Boards marks no longer define your college path — CUET scores do. Top colleges like Delhi University, Banaras Hindu University, JNU, and many more now admit students based on CUET performance.
In short:
- CUET = Gateway to 250+ universities
- Equal opportunity regardless of board or region
- Fair, objective, and competitive
