How to prepare for ज्यामिति (Geometry) for CUET-UG ?

Expected Weightage

The Common University Entrance Test (CUET) has included Geometry (ज्यामिति) under its Mathematics/Applied Mathematics domain. Analyzing the last three years (2022-2024) of CUET’s marking pattern for Geometry can help students strategize their preparation effectively.

1. Overall Weightage of Geometry in CUET

  • 2022 (First Edition): ~20-25% weightage in Mathematics/Applied Mathematics.
  • 2023: Slightly reduced (~18-22%) due to broader syllabus coverage.
  • 2024: Expected to remain around 20% , with a mix of theoretical and numerical questions.

2. Chapter-wise Weightage (Last 3 Years)

The following chapters from NCERT Class 11 & 12 are frequently tested in CUET’s Geometry section:

(A) Class 11 Topics

  1. Straight Lines (सरल रेखाएँ) Weightage: ~15-20% Key Topics: Slope, distance formula, angle between lines, forms of equations.

  2. **Circles (वृत्त)

Weightage:** ~10-15% Key Topics: Standard equation, tangent, chord properties.

  1. **Conic Sections (शंकु परिच्छेद)

Weightage:** ~20-25% (Highest in Geometry) Key Topics: Parabola, ellipse, hyperbola (standard forms, foci, eccentricity).

(B) Class 12 Topics

  1. Three-Dimensional Geometry (त्रि-विमीय ज्यामिति) Weightage: ~20-25% Key Topics: Direction cosines, plane equations, distance between lines.

  2. **Vector Algebra (सदिश बीजगणित)

Weightage:** ~10-15% Key Topics: Dot & cross product, scalar triple product.

  1. **Application of Integrals (समाकलन के अनुप्रयोग)

Weightage:** ~5-10% Key Topics: Area under curves (geometric interpretation).

3. Marking Pattern (2022-2024)

  • Total Questions in Math Section: 40-50 (out of which 8-12 are from Geometry).

  • Marking Scheme:

  • +5 for correct answer.

  • -1 for incorrect answer (negative marking).

  • 0 for unattempted questions.

  • Difficulty Level:

  • 2022: Mostly NCERT-based, moderate difficulty.

  • 2023: Slightly tougher, with application-based questions.

  • 2024: Expected to be similar to 2023 (balanced).

4. Key Trends & Preparation Tips

  1. Most Important Chapters: Conic Sections & 3D Geometry (highest weightage). Straight Lines (frequently tested).

  2. Less Weightage but Important:

Circles (direct formula-based questions). Vector Algebra (conceptual clarity needed).

  1. NCERT Focus:

70-80% questions are directly from NCERT examples/exercises.

  1. Practice PYQs:

Solve 2022 & 2023 CUET papers for pattern familiarity.

Conclusion

  • Focus Areas: Conic Sections, 3D Geometry, Straight Lines.
  • Avoid Neglect: Circles & Vectors (scoring if prepared well).
  • Strategy: NCERT + Previous Year Questions + Mock Tests.
