"English was the most ambiguous because there is no definite syllabus. Therefore, I went through the syllabus and regularly practiced reading comprehension, poetic devices, synonyms and antonyms. Reading comprehension was a major chunk of the question paper. In my CUET paper, there was three reading comprehension, which had a total of 15 sub questions, reframing of jumbled sentences, poetic devices, synonyms and antonyms," she says.

Asked about how CUET will provide an edge to students over the board exam marks for UG admissions, Kumar said, "In the past, students used to be under stress to secure more than 95 per cent marks in class 12 board examination to get admission in the university of their choice.
"With the introduction of CUET, the stress on them for securing very high marks in the one and only board examination stands reduced. Marks given by different boards vary widely because of the typology of questions and the scoring pattern. These things will now be standardised under CUET," he said.
(As told to PTI)
Covering new topics or books may prove to be counter-productive during the last few days of preparation and could add to the confusion in the minds of aspirants.
Hence, the last-month preparation for CUET should include revising topics that are already covered. Aiming to learn something new at this stage is likely to be overwhelming and may not be comprehended clearly during the exam. Also, do not hesitate to clear your doubts and concepts.

NTA will release the CUET UG Admit cards 2023 three days before the exam. Hence, the admit cards will be released in a phased manner.
"Board exams at Class 12 level not to become redundant due to introduction of CUET for UG admissions," UGC Chairman Jagadesh Kumar said.
"The basic eligibility criterion for entrance into universities remains unchanged which is that a candidate must have passed the class 12 examination from any recognised board or equivalent. In fact, marks in grade 12 for eligibility will vary across programs and universities," Kumar told PTI.
"Moreover, the board examination is an 'achievement test' whereas CUET-UG is a 'selection test'. Hence, board exams at the class 12 level are not likely to become redundant," he said.
NTA will conduct CUET UG 2023 from May 21 to 31 this year, with June 1 to 7 as the reserve dates.
"NEP 2020 suggests that students should not be subjected to multiple entrance tests. Due to numerous tests, students will face stress and financial difficulties. Therefore, a strong case exists for ‘One nation, one exam’ for admissions in different disciplines.
To have such a national test, much groundwork must be done. An idea on this is floated for discussion among the stakeholders. Whenever such a test is introduced, it will be known to the students at least two years before so that they are mentally ready. For now, they need to focus on NEET, JEE, or CUET, depending on where they want to study," says UGC Chief
Candidates need to key in their application number and date of birth to login. After that, candidates will be able to see links for city intimation slip and admit card.
"If there are any possible errors, machine or human-related, it becomes difficult to rectify them once the results are announced. Sometimes this last-effort verification may delay the announcement of results by a few hours on the declaration day, but we will try to minimise such delays," UGC Chief said.
"Last year, we were recovering from Covid, and most universities were working hard to restore the academic calendar. This time, we announced the CUET schedule on December 15. NTA will conduct CUET UG from May 21 to May 31 and the results will be out in June. Therefore, the admissions can be done in July and the universities can start their academic sessions by August 1, 2023. This year, we will recover the academic calendar to its original form," the UGC Chief told indianexpress.com.
No, the NTA has not re-scheduled the CUET UG 2023 exam. However, it has extended the exam dates and utilised its reserved dates as in some cities the number of registered candidates is “very large”.
