CUET English

The CUET English (Subject Code: 101) exam is the most preferred paper, serving as a mandatory or primary requirement for almost all undergraduate courses across India’s Central Universities. This year's exam, the exam gives importance to three core areas: Reading Comprehension, Verbal Ability, and Vocabulary. English not just tests your understanding, it also tests your proficiency in understanding context and nuance. The Reading Comprehension section alone carries nearly 40% of the weightage, featuring factual, narrative, and literary passages (approximately 300–350 words each) designed to test your conceptual understanding and analytical skills.
