How difficult is the CUET (UG) 2025 Exam?
The difficulty level of the CUET (UG) 2025 exam is considered to be easy to moderate.
But that being said, the answer to this question may depend on different factors:
- The score or merit rank you want to achieve
- The college you want to get admission to
- Your category.
Here is why,
CUET (UG) exam is attempted by around 14 lakh candidates. So, you need to secure a good enough rank to get into one of the top institutes.
Take for example, if you want to get admission to a central university, say Delhi University, the competition is going to be immense. So, unless you have a very good rank, you have practically no chance of admission.
However, if you are seeking admission to a low-ranked institute, you have a chance to get admission even with a low score.
What this means is the difficulty level of CUET (UG) 2025 is also directly proportional to your goals. If you are seeking admission to a top institute, you need to prepare thinking the competition is fierce. On the other hand, if you are happy with getting admission to any institute, well then, the CUET (UG) exam is easy.
