Balancing Boards and CUET preparation requires a well-planned strategy that ensures you perform well in both without compromising either.

Start by understanding the syllabus overlap between your Class 12 board exams and CUET domain-specific subjects, as many topics are common and can be studied simultaneously to save time.

Create a detailed study schedule that divides your daily hours between board exam preparation and CUET practice, prioritizing board subjects when exams are closer, but maintaining consistent CUET revision to avoid last-minute pressure. Focus on strengthening your fundamentals for boards since a strong foundation helps in CUET too.

Practice solving previous years’ board papers and CUET sample papers to get comfortable with different question patterns and time management. Use short breaks between board studies to revise CUET general and language sections, which require regular practice.

Avoid burnout by including rest and leisure time in your schedule and maintain a healthy routine. Regular self-assessment through mock tests for both exams will help you gauge your readiness and adjust your plan accordingly. This balanced approach ensures you stay on track for both Boards and CUET, maximizing your overall score and opportunities.
