Note: Taking reference from Notification of CUET(UG) 2025

Eligibility

For appearing in the CUET (UG) - 2025, there is no age limit for the candidates. The candidates who have passed the class 12/equivalent examination or are appearing in 2025 can appear in the CUET (UG) - 2025 examination. However, the candidates will be required to fulfill the age criteria (if any) of the University / Institution / Organization in which they are desirous of taking admission.

Subject Selection Guidelines

Candidates are allowed to appear for a maximum of 5 subjects (including Languages and General Test). These offered subjects can be classified in the following manner:

• Languages (including English)
• Non-Language Subjects (officially called Domains | e.g: Accountancy, Chemistry, Political Science, etc.)
• General Test

None of the subjects offered are compulsory. A candidate can choose to appear in whichever subject(s) they wish, however, it must be kept in mind that every University has an eligibility criteria for offered courses, and if you do not appear for certain subjects mentioned in the eligibility criteria, you will not be considered for admission. Subjects should be chosen such that you are eligible for all your desired universities.

Example Scenario

A Commerce student wants to pursue B.A Economics (Hons.) and decides to target admission to DU, JMI and BHU. However, all three universities have different eligibility criteria for admission to Economics:

• DU will only consider the marks scored in English + Mathematics + any 2 domains
• JMI will only consider the marks scored in the Economics paper
• BHU will only consider the marks scored in English + General Test

To ensure eligibility for all 3 universities, the student should choose to appear for the following subjects:

• English (for DU and BHU eligibility)
• Economics (for JMI eligibility)
• Any 1 domain (for DU eligibility)
• Mathematics (for DU eligibility)
• General Test (for BHU eligibility)

Important University-Specific Requirements

University of Delhi only allows candidates to appear for subjects in which they have passed 12th. If you had PCMB + English in 12th and you sit for the Psychology paper, your marks in it will not be considered by DU. Other Universities like JMI do not have such a rule. You must go through the Information Bulletin of each University to see their rules regarding this.

The subject-specific eligibility for a course in each university can be found at https://cuetug.ntaonline.in/universities/ (Click on your desired university and start scrolling).

Ideally, it is recommended to appear for English + 2-3 domains + General Test to ensure eligibility for maximum number of Universities, but this can vary from candidate to candidate.
