The University of Delhi is a public university located in Delhi, India. The university conducts its entrance exam for various undergraduate and postgraduate programs. This exam is known as the Common University Entrance Test (CUET).

The CUET for undergraduate programs is typically held in the month of May, and the results are usually announced in June. The test is conducted in both online and offline modes, and the duration of the test is 3 hours. The test consists of multiple-choice questions and is designed to assess the aptitude and knowledge of the applicants in various subjects such as mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, and English.

To be eligible to take the CUET, applicants must have completed their Class 12 (Higher Secondary School Certificate) exams or an equivalent qualification. They must also meet the minimum eligibility criteria set by the University of Delhi for the program they are applying to.

The University of Delhi uses the CUET scores, along with other criteria such as the Class 12 marks and extracurricular activities, to determine the final list of selected candidates for admission to various undergraduate programs.

Here is a list of tips and strategies that you can follow to get ready for the exam in just 15 days:

  1. Make a Study Plan: Create a schedule that allows you to review all the necessary material within the next two weeks. Be sure to allocate enough time for each subject and leave some time for breaks and review.
  2. Review the Exam Format: Familiarize yourself with the structure of the exam. Is it multiple choice, short answer, or essay format? Knowing what to expect can help you feel more prepared and confident on test day.

  10. Arrive Early: Allow plenty of time to get to the exam location so you don't feel rushed or stressed.
  11. Read the Instructions Carefully: Make sure you understand what is being asked of you before you start answering the questions.
