On the flip side, several niche and regional languages saw only one or two candidates scoring full marks. Subjects like Assamese, Kannada, Malayalam, Manipuri, Mizo, Kashmiri, Konkani, Russian, Sanskrit, and even foreign languages like French, German, Spanish, and Tibetan had just one to two top scorers each.

Interestingly, environmental studies, despite its relatively lower maximum score of 170, saw only two candidates getting the full marks — reflecting either a tougher evaluation standard or limited participation.

The data reveals that while mainstream subjects offer a broader competitive pool with more high scores, niche subjects can still be strategic choices, especially for those students confident in their strengths. With CUET UG becoming a gateway to multiple central universities, understanding scoring trends can help students make smarter academic choices.

The selection and admission are subject to fulfilling the admission criteria, eligibility, rank in the merit list, medical fitness, verification of original documents, and such other criteria as may be prescribed by the University.
