Points to Remember While Making a CUET Study Plan 2025

The CUET exam is a national-level exam taken by lakhs of aspirants annually. Many students score 100% in many subjects in the exam. You may wonder if the exam is easy. The answer lies in creating an efficient timetable for CUET preparation. 

The exam includes 3 sections: 

Sections	Description
Section 1A & 1B	Language Paper
Section 2	Domain-Specific paper
Section 3	General Test

Remember the following important points while creating a study plan for the exam to prepare well: 

1- Build on your strengths, work on your weakness 

• Firstly, review the CUET exam syllabus to determine your strengths and weaknesses and allocate the time accordingly. 
• Start by allocating time to your weaker areas and begin by getting a conceptual understanding. 

2- Structure gives clarity

• Look at the past year's trends to learn about exam difficulty levels and high-weightage topics in your chosen subjects. 
• Be thorough with the paper pattern and marking scheme before making the plan. 
• Prioritize the sections with more marks allocated to them so you have better chances of scoring. 

3- Intervals are important

• Your CUET study plan should include short breaks (5-10 minutes) between topics to refresh your mind and improve focus.
• In these intervals, do things that interest you and keep you active.

4- A To-do list is a life-saver

• Keep a daily checklist of what to study, as it will help you not miss out on any topic. 
• Allocate substantial time to each section of the exam.
• Dedicate the first hour of your new day to revising previously covered topics.
• Dedicate the final 30 minutes to reviewing your day's accomplishments. Check for any challenges and seek guidance from SuperGrads CUET Online Coaching experts to improve these areas. 
• Briefly plan your next day's schedule, listing specific topics you'll study the next day.

5- Time-table should be a mix of both

Create a colour-coded timetable where complex topics are one colour and easy topics are another.

• Mix and match the topics to increase interest in studying and not get bored. 
• Dedicate a slot (e.g., 1 hour) to a complex topic based on your self-assessment within each subject block in your CUET study plan.
• Before or after the complex topic slot, study an easier topic related to the same subject for revision or practice questions (e.g., 30 minutes).
• Rotate the order of complex and easy topics throughout the week to maintain the balance and improve recall value.

6- Do what you like first!

• Study the subject or topic you love first and later move to other subjects.
• Seek expert guidance if you feel stuck at any point during your CUET UG preparation.
