Overview of CUET UG 2026
Before we dive into DU specifics, let’s quickly recap the structure of the Common University Entrance Test (CUET) to ensure we are on the same page. The exam is divided into three sections:
- Section I (Languages): 13 languages in IA and 20 in IB. (English/Hindi is usually mandatory for DU).
- Section II (Domain Subjects): 27 specific subjects like Accountancy, Physics, Economics, etc. (For DU, you can choose only subjects taken in class 12 or your form would get rejected).
- Section III (General Test - GAT): An aptitude-based section covering:
- General Knowledge & Current Affairs
- General Mental Ability
- Numerical Ability & Quantitative Reasoning (Basic Maths, usually studied till class 10)
- Logical and Analytical Reasoning
Unlike board exams, CUET allows you to pick a combination of these sections based on the eligibility criteria of your target university.
