CUET Syllabus 2027: Subject-Wise Topics, Chapter Weightage and PDF Download

Content Curator | Updated on - Aug 14, 2026

CUET Syllabus 2027 is expected to be released by the National Testing Agency (NTA) at cuet.nta.nic.in in December 2026 along with the official information bulletin. The Common University Entrance Test (CUET UG) syllabus is based on the complete NCERT Class 12 curriculum for domain subjects, and students choosing any stream — Science, Commerce, or Arts — must prepare from the prescribed NCERT textbooks. You should download the official CUET 2027 syllabus PDF once NTA releases it and build your preparation plan around the official topic list.

The CUET 2027 syllabus is expected to cover 37 subjects: 13 languages, 23 domain-specific subjects, and 1 General Aptitude Test (GAT).
All domain subjects follow the complete NCERT Class 12 syllabus — CUET does not restrict topics to those in CBSE board exams.
The General Aptitude Test (GAT) covers Numerical Ability, Logical Reasoning, General Knowledge, Current Affairs, and General Science.
You can appear for a maximum of 5 subjects across all three sections (Language + Domain + GAT).
Each domain subject paper has 50 questions; you must attempt any 40 — each correct answer carries +5 marks and each wrong answer carries −1 mark.
Engineering Graphics is a domain subject under Section II; its syllabus covers 7 units including Isometric Projection of Solids, Machine Drawing, and Free-hand Sketches.
The official CUET 2027 syllabus PDF will be available at cuet.nta.nic.in once NTA releases the information bulletin — expected December 2026.

Students must not rely on the CBSE board syllabus alone — CUET Chemistry, for instance, retains chapters like Solid State, Surface Chemistry, and Polymers that CBSE has removed from its board exam syllabus.

CUET 2026 : 4 Answered Questions

Ques. My CUET total score is 280 out of 750, so which colleges should I go to?

Scoring 280 out of 750 in CUET will restrict your choices among the highly competitive central universities to some extent. But you have many more opportunities waiting for you at state, private, and part of the central universities—if you are willing to accept a range of courses and destinations. 280 out of 750 is equal to approximately 37%. Top-tier colleges such as DU, BHU, and JNU typically have their cutoffs significantly higher, typically even beyond 600, which makes it impossible to secure admission into their more demanding courses with this marking. But this doesn't leave you with nothing! There are plenty of other decent colleges with lower cutoffs and equally good education. Some Central and State Universities have comparatively lower competition, like the Central University of Haryana, Central University of Karnataka, Dr. Harisingh Gour Vishwavidyalaya (Sagar), Mahatma Gandhi Central University etc. They can offer admissions in general courses like BA, BSc, or BCom. Private Colleges and Universities The majority of the best private colleges accept CUET scores and offer relaxed cutoffs. Examples are colleges like KCC Institute of Technology & Management and other state board-associated private universities. University Type Likelihood of Admission Courses Likely Available Top Central Universities (DU, BHU, JNU, AMU) Very unlikely None (cutoffs much higher) Mid-/Lower-Tier Central/State Universities Possible General BA, BSc, BCom, etc. Private Universities/Colleges Good Wide range, including vocational Keep visiting the official university websites for the latest CUET cutoffs and admission rules. Applying to more than one university can work in your favor. Get ready to accept alternative campuses and pathways; sometimes the best opportunities can surprise you....Read More
