CUET UG 2026 has a fixed application and correction timeline and this is where most students slip.
Simple rule: Don’t wait for the last day. The last 48 hours are where payment delays, server load, and upload errors happen the most.
The form itself is easy, the mistakes happen due to rush.
Must-do: Save the confirmation page as a PDF and keep a screenshot of payment success.

Important clarity: While you can appear for CUET, admission does not happen automatically.

Students often make two mistakes:
The smarter approach:
Because CUET rewards:
CUET is the entrance test. Admission happens after results through university portals.
After the exam, the journey usually goes like this:
Key point: There is no single “one-button counselling” for all universities. Your seat depends on how carefully you follow each university’s admission rounds.
CUET cut-offs vary based on:

If you want a stable plan (especially if you’re balancing boards too), follow this:
Daily (60–90 minutes):
Weekly:
This is how rank improvements actually happen.
Most CUET students don’t lose marks because of a lack of syllabus knowledge.
Instead, they lose marks due to misreading questions, panic-driven guessing, poor time management, and repeated silly errors.
That’s exactly where VVT’s Error Exams make the difference.
By converting your wrong and skipped questions into personalised practice sets, these exams help you fix mistakes at the root. As a result, the same errors stop repeating — and this is where real, visible score jumps happen.
A normal mock test says: “Score: 162.” That’s not enough.
VVT’s analytics shows:
topic-wise weak zones, time spent per question, accuracy drop patterns under pressure, and repeated mistake behaviour, so your improvement becomes measurable and faster.
Two students with the same syllabus can have very different CUET outcomes depending on:
subject selection, target universities, and revision structure.
With mentor-led guidance, students get:
weekly score tracking, revision priority planning, weak-topic fixing without panic, and accountability till exam day.
Instead of re-teaching everything, Remedy Classes focus only on the concepts where marks leak followed by mini-tests to confirm improvement.
