The role of domain-specific subjects in CUET UG 2026 is to evaluate a candidate’s knowledge and understanding of the academic subjects relevant to the undergraduate course they wish to pursue.

Unlike the general test or language papers, domain-specific tests focus on core subjects such as Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, Biology, Economics, History, or Political Science, depending on the candidate’s chosen stream and interests.

These subjects are usually based on the NCERT syllabus of Classes 11 and 12, ensuring that the test measures the candidate’s grasp of essential concepts needed for higher education in that field.

Scoring well in domain-specific subjects is crucial because universities use these marks to assess eligibility and shortlist candidates for admission into specialized programs.

For JEE aspirants or science stream students, strong performance in domain subjects like Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics can significantly enhance admission chances in competitive courses. Therefore, domain-specific subjects play a vital role in aligning the CUET score with a student’s academic background and intended career path.
