Candidates need to appear for CUET UG in those subjects in which s/he is appearing for or has passed Class 12. If the Class 12 subject is not mentioned in CUET UG, s/he must appear in the language/domain-specific subject that is similar or closely related.

For example, if a candidate has studied Biochemistry in Class 12, s/he must appear for Biology in CUET PG. To establish similarity between the CUET UG paper and subjects taken in Class 12, at least 50 per cent of the syllabus should match.

Allocation and admission will be based only on the basis of a combination of language/s, domain-specific subjects and/or the General Aptitude Test (GAT) of CUET UG 2025 as per the requirements of the programme offered by the university.
