CUET UG Paper Analysis 2024:

Economics: 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM (Shift 1A)

The CUET 2024 Economics paper featured a difficulty level ranging from easy to moderate, with questions well-distributed across various chapters of the syllabus. This distribution ensured a comprehensive assessment of candidates’ understanding of a broad spectrum of economic concepts and theories. The questions encompassed a variety of themes and topics, including the applications of economic principles, theoretical knowledge, case studies illustrating real-world scenarios, numerical problem-solving, and chronological developments in economic history.

Approximately 50% of the questions were of moderate difficulty, 40% were easy, and 10% were difficult. Notably, microeconomics had a higher weightage than other sections of this paper. The questions typically included 10 fill-in-the-blank questions, 5 arrange-in-the-correct-order questions, 5 choose-the-correct-statements questions, 4 match-the-columns questions, 10 comprehension-based questions, and the remaining single-correct-answer questions.

Physics: 03:00 PM – 04:00 PM (Shift 2A)

The CUET Physics exam primarily focused on applying foundational concepts, featuring questions distributed across the curriculum's chapters. The questions spanned a range from analytical to numerical, from diagrams to graph-based, and included some direct factual questions to gauge overall comprehension of physics topics. Approximately 50–60% of the questions were of moderate difficulty, while 20–30% were easy, and 10–15% were challenging. However, certain chapters, like Nuclei (with only one question) and Communication Systems (with no questions), deviated from the established patterns observed in previous years.
