CUET Domain Subjects: Smart Study Plan

The Common University Entrance Test (CUET) has transformed the way students apply to central universities and several top institutions in India. Unlike earlier admission processes, CUET now assesses students across multiple areas, including General Knowledge, Quantitative Aptitude, Language Skills, and domain-specific subjects.

At Career Launcher South Ex, Delhi, we specialise in building strong foundations in General Knowledge, Quant, and test-taking strategy — the areas where smart preparation makes a real difference. And while we don’t teach domain subjects directly, we do guide students on how to self-plan and integrate them into their prep schedules.

Why GK & Quant Matter in CUET

  • High Weightage: Many courses and universities consider scores from the General Test and Quantitative Aptitude for shortlisting.

  • Breadth Over Depth: GK and Quant test your ability to stay updated and solve under time pressure, not just memory.

  • Performance Differentiator: Strong scores in these sections can offset average scores in others.

Step 1: Build a Base in GK & Quant

General Knowledge:

  • Read a quality newspaper or curated monthly GK capsule daily.

  • Focus on Constitution basics, Indian Polity, Economics, Current Affairs (national + international), major schemes, and awards.

  • Maintain a notebook of quick facts to revise before mocks.

Quantitative Aptitude:

  • Prioritise arithmetic (percentages, averages, ratios), algebra, and data interpretation.

  • Use NCERT maths (Classes 9–10) to strengthen concepts.

  • Practise speed math and estimation techniques.

Step 2: Understand the CUET Pattern

  • General Test & Quant Sections: Mostly MCQs; time-bound (45–60 minutes).

  • Scoring: +5 for correct, –1 for wrong answers.

  • Accuracy Wins: Speed matters but accuracy decides ranks.

Step 3: Smart Prep Tips for Domain Subjects (Self-Study)

Even though we don’t teach domain subjects, here’s how students can self-organise:

  • NCERT First: Many CUET domain questions come directly from NCERT line-by-line.

  • Concept > Cramming: Understand, don’t memorise.

  • PYQs: Solve previous years’ CUET questions to identify recurring patterns.

  • Quick Formula Sheets: Make your own for definitions, theorems, and diagrams.

Step 4: Weekly Smart Plan (No Table, Just Flow)

  • Monday: GK (Constitution + Current Affairs quiz + 20 MCQs)

  • Tuesday: Quant (percentages + ratios + DI sets)

  • Wednesday: GK (Economy + Awards + Static facts)

  • Thursday: Quant (algebra + practice questions)

  • Friday: GK (International events + Polity updates)

  • Saturday: Self-study domain subject (1 chapter + 25 MCQs)

  • Sunday: Mixed revision (mock test + error log)

Step 5: Mid-Month Self-Check

Ask yourself:

  • Have I covered 50% of planned GK topics by the 15th?

  • What is my accuracy rate in Quant?

  • Am I keeping up at least one chapter per week in my domain subject on my own?

Then adjust your schedule accordingly.

Sample CUET Practice Mini-Set

General Knowledge:

  1. Who is the current Chief Justice of India?

  2. The Ninety-First Amendment to the Constitution deals with what?

Quant:
3. A train travels 240 km at 60 km/h and returns at 40 km/h. Find the average speed.
4. If the cost price of 15 articles = selling price of 12 articles, find the gain %.

Domain (Self-study example):
5. Microeconomics deals with (a) Aggregate demand (b) Supply of one good (c) National income (d) Inflation.
6. Derivative of f(x)=3x²+2x+5 is?

Answer Highlights:

  1. (Update with latest CJI name)

  2. Restriction on size of Council of Ministers

  3. Average speed = (2×60×40)/(60+40)=48 km/h

  4. Gain% = 25%

  5. (b) Supply of one good

  6. 6x+2
