Expected Weightage

The Common University Entrance Test (CUET) for the “किताबें और लेखक” (Books & Authors) section typically falls under the General Test or Domain-Specific Subject (Hindi Literature) depending on the course applied for. Below is an analysis of the last three years’ (2021-2023) marking patterns and chapter-wise weightage based on available trends and student reports.

1. CUET Marking Pattern (Books & Authors Section)

  • Mode of Exam: Computer-Based Test (CBT)
  • Total Questions: 40-50 (varies slightly each year)
  • Marks per Question: +5 for correct, -1 for incorrect, 0 for unattempted
  • Section Weightage: ~20-25% in the General Test (if included) or higher in Hindi Literature domain.

2. Chapter-wise Weightage (Books & Authors)

The “Books & Authors” section primarily covers: - Classic Hindi Literature (Premchand, Kabir, Tulsidas, etc.) - Modern Hindi Authors (Harivansh Rai Bachchan, Mahadevi Verma, etc.) - Famous Books & Their Writers (Regional and National) - Awards & Recognitions (Jnanpith, Sahitya Akademi, etc.)

Trends (2021-2023):

Topic Weightage (Approx.) Key Examples
Classic Hindi Literature 30-35% Ramcharitmanas, Godan, Premchand’s works
Modern Hindi Authors 25-30% Harivansh Rai Bachchan, Mahadevi Verma, Dinkar
Famous Books (National/International) 20-25% Bhagavad Gita, Panchatantra, Shakespeare

2023:**

  • More focus on modern authors (e.g., questions on “Madhushala” by Harivansh Rai Bachchan).
  • Award-based questions increased (e.g., “Which author won the Jnanpith for Hindi in 2022?”).

2022:

  • Emphasis on classic literature (e.g., Kabir’s dohas, Tulsidas’ works).
  • Matching-based questions (e.g., Match the book with its author).

2021:

  • Balanced distribution between classic and modern authors.
  • Direct factual questions (e.g., “Who wrote ‘Gaban’?”).

4. Preparation Tips

  • Focus Areas:
  • Memorize top authors and their famous books.
  • Revise award-winning authors (last 5 years).
