Section-I: The first section of the CUET is further broken down into IA and IB. A candidate’s command of English or one of 12 Indian languages—Hindi, Marathi, Gujarati, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, Urdu, Assamese, Bengali, Punjabi, or Odia—will be tested in Section IA. The examination will last for 45 minutes.
Section IB lists 19 undergraduate degree programmes in foreign languages that various central universities offer. Among the offered languages are Chinese, Japanese, Russian, Tibetan, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Arabic, Bodo, Dogri, Maithili, Manipuri, Santhali, Kashmiri, and others.
Section II: A candidate’s knowledge of the fundamental disciplines they want to study at the undergraduate level will be evaluated in this part. In accordance with this, they can choose up to six subjects from a list of 27 including Accountancy/Book Keeping, Biology/ Biological Studies/Biotechnology/Biochemistry, Business Studies, Chemistry, Computer Science/ Informatics Practices, Economics/Business Economics, Engineering Graphics, Entrepreneurship, Geography/Geology, History, Home Science, Knowledge Tradition and Practices of India, Legal Studies, Environmental Science, Mathematics, Physical Education/NCC /Yoga, Physics etc.
In the Section II paper, which is also 45 minutes long, a candidate must attempt 40 out of 50 questions.
Section III:For any undergraduate programmes/programmes being offered by universities where a general exam is being used for admission rather than admitting students based on their scores on domain subjects, Section III of the CUET will be used. Candidates who desire to enrol in any such course will therefore be the only ones who take this. The exam, which will last an hour, will test candidates’ general knowledge, current events knowledge, general mental capacity, and numerical skills. Through the straightforward application of fundamental mathematical ideas from arithmetic, algebra, geometry, and measurement taught up to Class 8. It will also assess quantitative reasoning. There will be 75 questions on this paper, 60 of which must be answered.
Q. Are CUET and CUCET the same?
Only 14 central universities had used a central entrance exam up until this year, despite the fact that CUET had previously been introduced as the Central Universities Common Entrance Test (CUCET) in 2010 under the UPA-II government. All 45 core universities are now required to implement this updated version of CUCET. This has happened since the new National Education Policy (NEP), which supports the requirement of an entrance exam for university admissions, was made public.
Q. Will there be negative marking scheme in CUET 2022?
Yes, there will be negative marking for incorrect answers in addition to students receiving marks for each correct response. A wrong response will result in a mark being subtracted. No points are deducted for not responding to a question.
Q. Who all can take CUET-UG 2022?
The CUET exam will be open to all students who pass their class 12 examinations from any recognised institution or Board. According to the National Testing Agency (NTA), if a university allows former class 12 students to enrol in the current academic year, those students would also be qualified to take the CUET 2022. Other than that, neither the UGC nor the NTA have specified an age restriction for the entrance exam. Candidates are urged to get in touch with the university of their choice for more information on age requirements.
