How the CUET UG Paper Changed (2022–2026)
- 2022: the first CUET UG, held from 15 July to 30 August 2022 in six phases. In most papers you chose 40 of the 50 questions, and 20 extra languages were offered in Section IB.
- 2024: the only hybrid year. Some subjects were on pen and paper and the rest on computer, with a re-test on 19 July 2024.
- 2025 onwards: every paper has 50 compulsory questions in 60 minutes, a candidate can take at most five subjects, and the subject list was cut from 63 to 37.
- Using older papers: the 2022 to 2024 papers are still good subject practice. Attempt every question in them, because the 2027 paper has no optional questions.
What a CUET UG Paper Looks Like
The 2026 General Aptitude Test paper (subject code 501) is from the first shift of 24 May 2026. Its header shows 60 minutes, 250 marks and one section of 50 questions, all to be attempted. Each question has a question ID and appears in English and then Hindi, with four options that each carry an option ID. The four questions below are from this paper, and their answers come from NTA’s final answer key.

NTA’s final key lists the correct option ID against each question ID, not an option number, so match the IDs printed under each question. Where NTA accepted two answers, the key shows both option IDs.
How to Use CUET UG Previous Year Papers?
- Time each test at 60 minutes. That is 72 seconds a question. Many General Aptitude questions take one line of working, so bank time on them for the longer ones.
- Know what a guess is worth. With +5 for a right answer and −1 for a wrong one, a blind guess among four options averages +0.5 marks. Ruling out one option raises that to +1.
- Solve 2026 and 2025 first, because they have the same 50 compulsory questions in 60 minutes as CUET UG 2027. Then use 2022 to 2024 for extra subject practice.
- Practise only your own tests. You can take at most five tests, so open your subject pages and work through every year of those subjects rather than every paper on the site.
- Plan for May 2027. That is about six months away. Two papers a week across your five tests covers every year from 2022 to 2026 before the exam.
