CUET UG Syllabus 2027: PDF Expected December 2026, Subject-Wise Topics and Topic-Wise Weightage

Reading Comprehension: Factual, Literary, and Narrative unseen passages. Questions test main idea, inference, tone, and supporting details. Literary Aptitude: identifying literary devices (simile, metaphor, irony, personification), tone, and theme from given passages. Vocabulary: synonyms, antonyms, fill in the blanks with the correct word form, idioms and phrases, one-word substitutions. NTA sets all passages as unseen — there is no fixed chapter or text list for the language section.

Apathit Gadyansh (unseen prose passages); Sahityik Abhiruci (literary aptitude — rasa, alankar, sandhi viched, chhand); Shabda Shakti (vocabulary: paryayvachi, vilom, muhavare, fill in the blanks). The structure mirrors the English paper but tests Hindi medium reading and grammar.

Each regional language paper follows the same structure as English: Reading Comprehension (factual and literary passages in the respective language), Literary Aptitude, and Vocabulary.
