More than 15 lakh students are expected to register for CUET 2027, competing for seats in over 240 participating universities.
- Registration: CUET 2027 registration is expected to start in the first week of January 2027. In 2026, registration opened on January 3, 2026 and closed on February 4, 2026 — expect a similar window.
- Exam Date: The CUET 2027 exam is expected to be held in May–June 2027 in CBT mode across multiple cities. In 2026, the exam ran from May 11 to June 7, 2026 across hundreds of centres.

What is CUET 2027?
CUET stands for Common University Entrance Test. It is a national-level entrance exam conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA) for undergraduate admissions in central universities and a large number of state and deemed universities across India. CUET UG was first introduced in 2022 and replaced the system of individual university entrance exams and Class 12 merit-based direct admission for most central universities.
The exam is held in Computer-Based Test (CBT) mode. It tests candidates on three areas: languages, domain-specific subjects (based on NCERT Class 12 curriculum), and a General Test. You can choose subjects based on the course and university you want to apply to.
In 2026, more than 15.68 lakh candidates registered for CUET UG, and over 11.64 lakh appeared for the exam. The exam was held across 244 universities, including Delhi University (DU), Banaras Hindu University (BHU), Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU), Jamia Millia Islamia, and many state and deemed universities. For CUET 2027, NTA is expected to continue the same structure with minor adjustments.
This makes CUET one of India’s largest undergraduate entrance exams, second only to NEET UG in terms of registrations.

CUET 2027 Syllabus
The CUET 2027 syllabus is based on the NCERT Class 12 curriculum for domain subjects and languages. NTA will release the official syllabus along with the information bulletin. Here is the expected syllabus for each section based on 2026 patterns.
Section IA and IB – Language Syllabus
The language section tests your reading and comprehension skills. You do not need to study a fixed syllabus — the focus is on passages and questions based on them. Key topics include:
- Reading Comprehension: factual, narrative, and literary passages (around 300–350 words each)
- Literary Aptitude: understanding literary devices, tone, and themes
- Vocabulary: word meanings, antonyms, synonyms, and usage in context
- Grammar usage and sentence structure (based on Class 12 level)
CUET offers 13 languages in Section IA: English, Hindi, Assamese, Bengali, Gujarati, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Odia, Punjabi, Tamil, Telugu, and Urdu.

NTA discontinued several subjects from CUET in 2026, including Entrepreneurship, Legal Studies, Teaching Aptitude, and Engineering Graphics. Admissions to related courses now use the General Test score. Confirm the active subject list for 2027 from the official information bulletin.
CUET 2027 Admit Card
The CUET 2027 admit card will be released by NTA on cuet.nta.nic.in a few weeks before the exam. Based on 2026, you can expect the admit card in April 2027 for a May exam window.

Before the Admit Card — City Intimation Slip
NTA usually releases a City Intimation Slip about 10–15 days before the admit card. This slip tells you the city where your exam centre will be. It does not have the exact centre address — that comes on the final admit card. In 2026, the city intimation slip was released in April 2026.
You must bring a printed copy of the admit card and a valid photo ID (Aadhaar, PAN, driving licence, passport) to the exam hall. No candidate is allowed to enter without the admit card.
CUET 2027 Result and Scorecard
The CUET 2027 result will be declared by NTA on cuet.nta.nic.in. Based on past trends, the result is expected in late June or early July 2027. In 2026, NTA declared the CUET UG result on June 23, 2026, roughly two weeks after the exam window closed.
How to Check CUET 2027 Result
- Go to cuet.nta.nic.in after the result date
- Click on "CUET UG 2027 Result / Scorecard" link
- Enter your Application Number and Date of Birth
- Your scorecard will appear on screen
- Download and save your scorecard — NTA does not send it by post, SMS, or email
What the CUET Scorecard Shows
- Raw score in each subject you appeared for
- Percentile score for each subject
- Qualifying status (whether you met the minimum NTA-set qualifying marks, if any)
- Candidate’s photograph and basic details
CUET Answer Key 2027
Before the final result, NTA releases a provisional answer key. You can raise objections against incorrect answers by paying a small fee per question. If the objection is found valid, the answer key is corrected and affected candidates get full marks. The final answer key forms the basis of the final result. In 2026, the final answer key was released on June 21, 2026, two days before the result.
How Many Students Appeared for CUET UG 2026?
In CUET 2026, a total of 15,68,867 students registered and 11,64,098 appeared for the exam. The appearance rate was about 74%. Registrations grew by over 15% compared to CUET 2025, reflecting growing acceptance of CUET scores by universities. English was the most popular subject, with more than 12.64 lakh candidates registering for it.
CUET 2027 Score vs Percentile
CUET scores and percentiles are two different things, and many students confuse them. Your raw score is the total marks you earned. Your percentile shows how you performed compared to all other candidates who appeared in the same subject. Understanding this difference helps you plan your college applications better.
How Percentile is Calculated in CUET
The percentile is calculated per subject. If your percentile in Economics is 98, it means you scored better than 98% of students who appeared in the Economics paper. NTA normalises scores across different shifts and dates before calculating the percentile.
CUET 2025 Score vs Percentile Trend (Reference)
The table below shows an approximate score-to-percentile mapping based on CUET 2025 trends for the General Test and popular domain subjects. Actual values for 2027 will depend on difficulty level and candidate performance.
| Subject | Score Range (out of 250) | Approximate Percentile |
|---|---|---|
| General Test | 220–250 | 99.5+ percentile |
| General Test | 200–219 | 95–99 percentile |
| General Test | 175–199 | 85–95 percentile |
| English | 230–250 | 99+ percentile |
| English | 210–229 | 95–99 percentile |
| Mathematics | 230–250 | 99+ percentile |
| Economics | 225–250 | 99+ percentile |
The score-to-percentile mapping changes every year based on exam difficulty and number of candidates. These figures are based on 2025 trends and are for reference only.
What Score Do You Need for Top Universities?
Individual universities convert CUET scores to a combined score using their own formula. For example, Delhi University uses a composite CUET score (called CSAS score) that adds scores across required subjects. Getting 95+ percentile across your subjects gives you a competitive chance at top DU colleges like SRCC, Hindu College, and Miranda House. For JNU and BHU, check university-specific admission criteria, as they may weigh sections differently.
CUET 2027 Cutoff for Top Colleges
CUET does not have a single centrally declared cutoff. Each university sets its own cutoff independently based on the CUET scores of applicants. The cutoff varies by course, category, and university. You should check the admissions portal of each university you are applying to.
For the upcoming 2027 admissions cycle, the cutoffs will be released after the CUET result and university-wise merit list processing — expected from July 2027 onwards.
DU CUET Cutoff 2025 – Round 1 (Reference for 2027)
Delhi University uses a composite score system called CSAS (Common Seat Allocation System) to process CUET scores. Here are the 2025 Round 1 cutoffs for top DU colleges in the General category as a reference point for what to expect in 2027.
| College | Course | CSAS Score (General, Round 1, 2025) |
|---|---|---|
| Hindu College | BA (Hons) Political Science | 950.58 |
| Hindu College | BA (Hons) History | 914 |
| Hindu College | B.Com (Hons) | 912 |
| SRCC | B.Com (Hons) | 917 |
| SRCC | BA (Hons) Economics | 909 |
| Miranda House | BA (Hons) Political Science | 925 |
| Lady Shri Ram College | BA (Hons) Psychology | 926 |
| Lady Shri Ram College | B.Com (Hons) | 906 |
| St. Stephen’s College | BA (Hons) English | 926 |
| St. Stephen’s College | BA (Hons) History | 918 |
These are DU CSAS composite scores (sum of CUET scores across required subjects), not raw CUET subject scores. The scale and formula for 2027 may change. Check DU’s CSAS portal for updated methodology.
Source: University of Delhi CSAS Portal
Factors That Affect CUET Cutoff
- Number of applicants for a specific course and college
- Available seats and reservation policy
- Difficulty level of the CUET exam that year
- Overall score distribution among candidates
- University-specific weightage formula for combining subject scores
CUET 2027 Counselling Process
Unlike NEET or JEE, CUET does not have a centralised counselling process for all universities. Each participating university conducts its own admissions process after NTA declares the CUET result. You need to separately register on each university’s portal and follow their specific process.
Delhi University CSAS Counselling 2027 (Expected)
Delhi University uses the Common Seat Allocation System (CSAS) for UG admissions. Here is how the DU admission process works after CUET results:
- Step 1 – CSAS Registration: Register on the DU CSAS portal at admission.uod.ac.in after the CUET result. This is separate from the CUET registration.
- Step 2 – Programme + College Preferences: Fill your preferences for programmes and colleges in order of priority. You can fill multiple preferences.
- Step 3 – Simulated Rank List: DU releases a simulated rank list so you can estimate your chances before allocation.
- Step 4 – Seat Allocation Rounds: DU runs multiple allocation rounds. In each round, you may get a seat based on your CSAS score and preferences.
- Step 5 – Fee Payment and Reporting: If you get a seat, pay the admission fee and report to the college within the stipulated time.
In 2026, DU CSAS counselling started in July 2026 after the CUET result on June 23. Multiple rounds were conducted through July and August 2026.
Other Central University Admissions
Universities like BHU, JNU, Jamia Millia Islamia, Aligarh Muslim University (AMU), and Hyderabad Central University have their own portals and admission timelines. Each university releases its own merit list based on CUET scores and may also consider additional criteria like group discussions or university-specific tests for some programmes.
Important Points for CUET 2027 Counselling
- Registering on a university’s portal is separate from the CUET application. You must do both.
- The CUET scorecard is valid only for the 2027-28 academic session — you cannot use it for future years.
- Some universities may give additional weightage to sports quota, ECA (Extra Curricular Activities), or CW (Children of War Widows) categories.
- Keep all your documents ready: Class 10 and 12 mark sheets, CUET scorecard, category certificates, passport photos, and Aadhaar card.
NTA releases the qualifying cutoff (if any), but the admission cutoff is set by each individual university based on their own criteria. A good CUET score does not automatically guarantee admission — you must complete each university’s registration separately.
Top Universities Accepting CUET 2027
CUET 2027 scores will be accepted by 244 or more participating universities (as per 2026 count). These include central universities, state universities, deemed universities, and private universities. Here are some of the most sought-after institutions that use CUET scores for UG admissions.

CUET 2027 Preparation Tips
With about 6–7 months until the expected CUET 2027 exam window, this is the right time to start preparing. The competition is tough — more than 15 lakh students appeared in 2026. A smart and focused strategy can make a big difference.
1. Know the Syllabus and Exam Pattern
- Start by downloading the official CUET information bulletin as soon as it is out in January 2027.
- Understand which sections and subjects you need to appear in for your target courses and universities.
- Do not prepare for subjects you do not need — CUET tests specific domain subjects, not all subjects.
2. Focus on NCERT Class 12 Books
- CUET domain subjects are almost entirely based on NCERT Class 12 textbooks. If you know your NCERT well, you are already well-prepared.
- Read every chapter carefully, including the examples and in-text questions.
- Make short notes for quick revision before the exam.
3. Prepare for the General Test Seriously
- Most central university courses require the General Test. Do not take it lightly.
- Read newspapers daily for current affairs and general knowledge.
- Practice mental ability, reasoning, and numerical aptitude regularly — even 30 minutes per day helps.
4. Practice with Previous Year CUET Papers
- CUET started in 2022, so you have papers from 2022 to 2026 to practise with.
- Solve at least 2 previous year papers per subject under timed conditions.
- Analyse your weak areas and revise those topics.
5. Time Management in the Exam
- Each CUET section is 45–60 minutes for 50 questions. That is less than 1–1.5 minutes per question.
- Do not spend too long on a single difficult question. Move on and come back if time allows.
- Be careful about negative marking — attempt only questions you are confident about.
6. Language Section Strategy
- The language section is not grammar-heavy — it is more about reading and understanding passages.
- Read the passage carefully before answering. The answers are usually within the passage itself.
- Practise 2–3 reading comprehension passages every day to improve your speed.
7. Mock Tests and Full-Length Practice
- Start taking full mock tests from February–March 2027 onwards.
- NTA usually releases an official demo test on the CUET portal before the exam — attempt it to get familiar with the interface.
- Review your mistakes after every mock test and improve before the next one.

Ques. How many subjects can I choose in CUET 2027?
Ans. You can appear in a maximum of 6 subjects in CUET — this can be any combination of language(s), domain subject(s), and the General Test. The subjects you choose must match the requirements of the courses you are applying to at participating universities. You should check the admission requirements of each university before selecting your CUET subjects.
Ques. Is there negative marking in CUET 2027?
Ans. Yes, CUET has negative marking. You get +5 marks for every correct answer and -1 mark for every incorrect answer. Unattempted questions get 0 marks. So you should avoid guessing randomly, especially in subjects where you are not confident.
Ques. What is the CUET 2027 eligibility criteria?
Ans. To appear in CUET 2027, you need to have passed or be appearing for Class 12 or equivalent from a recognised board. NTA does not set a minimum percentage — universities set their own cutoffs. There is no upper age limit for CUET, though individual universities may have age restrictions for specific courses. Subject-specific requirements like having Physics and Mathematics for B.Tech also come from each university separately.
Ques. How many universities accept CUET 2027 scores?
Ans. In CUET 2026, 244 universities accepted CUET scores. This number is expected to increase for 2027. These include all 45 central universities (where CUET is mandatory), as well as state universities, deemed universities, and private institutions that have opted into the CUET system. The final list will be available in the CUET 2027 information bulletin.
Ques. Is the CUET syllabus the same as NCERT Class 12?
Ans. Yes, the CUET domain subject syllabus is based on NCERT Class 12 textbooks. If you are thorough with your Class 12 NCERT books, you will cover most of the CUET syllabus. The General Test has a separate syllabus covering general knowledge, current affairs, mental ability, and quantitative reasoning, which is not directly from NCERT. The language section tests reading comprehension and vocabulary.
Ques. Can I appear in CUET 2027 if I have already given Class 12 exams?
Ans. Yes. CUET does not restrict the number of attempts. Students who have passed Class 12 in earlier years can also appear in CUET 2027. However, some universities may have restrictions on the year of Class 12 passing for eligibility. Check each university’s eligibility conditions carefully before applying.
Ques. What is the CUET exam mode — online or offline?
Ans. CUET UG is conducted in Computer-Based Test (CBT) mode — it is an online exam. You will answer on a computer at a designated exam centre. There is no pen-and-paper option. All questions are MCQs. NTA assigns you a centre based on the city you choose during registration.
Ques. What is a good score in CUET 2027 for DU admissions?
Ans. For top Delhi University colleges like SRCC, Hindu College, and Miranda House, you generally need a CSAS composite score above 900 (out of 1000, combining two domain subjects and General Test/language). In CUET 2025, Hindu College’s BA (Hons) Political Science cutoff was 950.58. The higher the popularity of the course, the higher the expected cutoff. Getting above the 95th percentile in your core subjects is a strong target for top DU colleges.
Ques. Is CUET compulsory for all central universities in 2027?
Ans. Yes, CUET scores are mandatory for admission to all 45 central universities in India. These universities are not allowed to conduct their own entrance exams or give admission based on Class 12 marks alone.

Based on your scores (52.8% in PCB and 58.9% overall), you have a solid chance at securing admission to reputable private and state-affiliated agriculture colleges. Consider institutions like Lovely Professional University (LPU), Amity University, Chandigarh University, and GD Goenka University, which offer excellent infrastructure for B.Sc. Agriculture. You can also explore state agriculture universities with management quota seats or college-specific entrance tests. Focus on ICAR-accredited programs to ensure better career and higher education opportunities.
Getting B.Com (Hons) at the BHU Main Campus (Faculty of Commerce) with 429 out of 750 is difficult if you belong to the General, EWS, or OBC categories, where cutoffs stay above 450–500. However, you have an excellent chance for admission into top BHU-affiliated colleges like DAV PG, VCW, or AMPGC.
Securing a top-tier central university like DU or BHU is difficult with a CUET UG score of 233 out of 1000. However, you can still target newer regional central universities, such as the Central Universities of Kashmir, Kerala, or Haryana, for less competitive or vocational programs during later counseling rounds.
Yes, you can secure a seat in a central university, but you must target lower-competition options. While top universities like DU or BHU require much higher marks, regional central universities (like the Central Universities of Kashmir, Kerala, or South Bihar) and specialized vocational courses accept scores in this range, especially during spot counseling rounds.
Government law colleges admitting undergraduate students through CUET UG (like BHU or Allahabad University) require at least 350 to 550+ marks out of 650/1250 for their BA LLB programs. A total language and GAT score of 200 makes securing a seat in premium government institutions highly difficult, but you can target lower-tier state or private universities.
Getting a government college depends on your normalized score, subject combinations, and category rank. Since NTA doesn't give a single overall rank, each university creates its own merit list based on your CUET scores for their specific course criteria, making your seat allocation dependent on those individual rank cut-offs.
A score of 498 across five subjects is competitive. For medical/allied health programs like BSc Biomedical Science, Biochemistry, or Microbiology, your main subject combination (like Physics, Chemistry, Biology) will dictate your rank.

With a score of 231/500 in English and the General Test, admission into top-tier central universities like DU for Journalism or BHU for Psychology is difficult.

A score of 154.75 out of 750 makes it highly difficult to secure high-demand honors courses in top-tier central universities. However, past cutoffs show that students with similar scores successfully cleared spot rounds for off-campus Delhi University colleges (like Aditi Mahavidyalaya or Deshbandhu) in specific language or niche B.A. programs, or targeted regional state universities and private colleges.
