CUET UG 2023: ‘Manage time efficiently, analyse questions’; tips by experts

Exam pattern and tips

— Learn techniques to answer every query efficiently and within the time limit. Students will get limited time for each section. In sections 1 and 2, they will have to answer 40 out of 50 questions in 45 minutes. Section 3 will be of 60 minutes duration and students will have to answer 60 questions out of 75 in that section. Therefore, it is necessary for students to manage their time efficiently.

— Analyse every question and understand what actually needs to be produced in the form of an answer. The questions can be a mix of both memory-based and application based.

— Read the questions at least twice, as mostly the hint of the answer lies in the question itself. Reading the questions properly will make it easier to understand as well as it will tell what it is looking for. Not every question is a direct question, sometimes it requires a re-reading, so concentrate while you read the question paper and answer accordingly.

— Divide the questions as per the availability of time, this will allow them to manage their time and solve every question strategically. All questions were for 5 marks, section 1 and 2 were for a total of 200 marks each and section 3 was for 300 marks. The maximum marks for the exam were 700 marks.

— Practice mock papers to have a better understanding of what kind of questions will be asked.

— Read about the paper pattern well in advance so that you can get an idea of how to answer, how many questions will be there and more. This saves time during the exam.
