About CUET
CUET (UG) is the single national entrance test that decides admission to Delhi University, BHU, JNU, Jamia, Allahabad and 250+ other central, state and private universities. It is conducted by the NTA as a computer-based test, and unlike a board exam it rewards speed and accuracy far more than long written answers. The paper is built from three parts: Language, up to five Domain Subjects and the General Test. Your university and course decide which combination counts, so a B.Com aspirant at DU sits Accountancy, Business Studies and Economics, while a BA (Hons) Political Science aspirant sits Political Science, History and the General Test. Because seats are allotted on normalised CUET scores rather than board percentages, a strong Class 12 result no longer guarantees a seat — the entrance score does. Jarvis treats CUET as an entrance test, not a syllabus recap. Every question is generated in NTA style (MCQ, five options where applicable, single correct answer), timed against the real per-section clock, and scored with the real +5 / −1 marking so your practice score means something. When you get a question wrong, Jarvis does not just show the key: it teaches the underlying NCERT concept, shows the fastest solving route an experienced aspirant would use, and adds the item back into your revision queue so it returns before exam day. Domain subject content is anchored to the NCERT Class 12 syllabus, which is what CUET actually samples. General Test coverage includes quantitative reasoning, logical and analytical reasoning, general awareness and current affairs. Language coverage focuses on reading comprehension, vocabulary in context and verbal ability — the sections most aspirants leave marks on because they run out of time rather than because they lack knowledge.

Exam structure
CUET (UG) is a computer-based test conducted by the NTA in multiple shifts across several days. • Section IA / IB — Language: reading comprehension, vocabulary, verbal ability. • Section II — Domain Subjects: choose up to five, mapped to your target course. • Section III — General Test: quantitative reasoning, logical reasoning, GK and current affairs. Every section is MCQ-only and delivered on screen with a per-section timer. There is no descriptive writing anywhere in the paper. Because shifts differ, raw scores are normalised across sessions before merit lists are prepared, so consistency across full-length mocks matters more than one high score.
Grading & scoring
Marking is +5 for a correct answer and −1 for an incorrect answer; unattempted questions score 0. That single rule shapes the whole strategy: a blind guess has negative expected value, while an educated guess after eliminating two options is usually worth taking. Scores are normalised across shifts using the NTA's percentile-equivalence method, then universities publish course-wise cut-offs on the normalised score — DU, BHU and JNU each weight sections differently. Jarvis reports every mock with raw score, negative-mark loss, accuracy percentage, per-section timing and an estimated percentile band so you can see whether you are losing seats to knowledge gaps or to reckless attempts.
Exam strategy & time management
- 1Do two full-length, correctly-timed mocks a week — CUET punishes pacing errors more than syllabus gaps.
- 2Never guess blindly: with +5/−1, only attempt when you can eliminate at least two options.
- 3Lock your domain-subject combination to your target university's course requirement before you start revising.
- 4Revise strictly from NCERT Class 12 — CUET samples NCERT lines almost verbatim.
- 5Budget the General Test last if it carries less weight for your course, but never leave it unattempted.
- 6Keep a running current-affairs log for the 12 months before the exam and review it weekly.
- 7Review every wrong answer the same day — Jarvis re-queues them into spaced repetition automatically.
Common mistakes to avoid
- ✕Attempting every question — negative marking quietly erases 30–60 marks.
- ✕Preparing from coaching notes instead of NCERT, then missing verbatim NCERT-sourced options.
- ✕Choosing domain subjects that don't match the target university's course mapping.
- ✕Practising untimed, then losing 8–10 questions per section to the clock on exam day.
- ✕Ignoring the General Test until the last month.
- ✕Treating board revision as CUET revision — the board paper rewards writing, CUET rewards elimination speed.
What examiners look for
CUET is machine-marked, so there are no method marks and no examiner goodwill. The only things that matter are the correct option and the number of questions you reach in the time allowed. Practice should therefore optimise accuracy per minute, not depth of written explanation.
A worked CUET question, step by step
CUET (UG) General Test: A shopkeeper marks an item 40% above cost price and then offers a 25% discount. What is his profit percentage?
- 1Take cost price = 100 (always assume 100 for percentage questions — it removes all fractions).
- 2Marked price = 100 + 40% of 100 = 140.
- 3Discount = 25% of 140 = 35, so selling price = 140 − 35 = 105.
- 4Profit = SP − CP = 105 − 100 = 5.
- 5Profit % = (profit ÷ CP) × 100 = (5 ÷ 100) × 100 = 5%.
- 6Speed check: successive percentage shortcut → 1.40 × 0.75 = 1.05, i.e. +5%. Under exam pressure use this one-line version.
Answer: 5% profit.
How the marks are awarded: MCQ, single correct option: +5 for 5%, −1 for any other selection. Target solve time under 35 seconds using the successive-multiplier shortcut.

Yes — quantitative reasoning, logical and analytical reasoning, static GK and rolling current affairs are all covered, with practice sets and spaced-repetition flashcards.
How does Jarvis account for CUET normalisation?
Every mock reports a raw score plus an estimated percentile band, because universities admit on normalised scores rather than raw marks. Consistency across mocks is the signal to watch.
Can I try Jarvis for CUET without paying?
Yes. You can start free with a 3-day Premium trial — no card required — and run real CUET-style questions and mocks straight away.
