Domain — Mathematics for the CUET Exam — Maharashtra candidates

10% of the CUET test plan. CUET Mathematics covers NCERT Class 12: calculus, algebra, probability, vectors, and 3D geometry. Calibrated for Maharashtrian candidates.

High-stakes exams reward two skills equally: knowledge and test-craft. This page focuses on both for one of the most failure-prone areas. Domain — Mathematics sits at roughly 10% of the Common University Entrance Test content distribution — Mathematics is required for B.Sc. Mathematics, Statistics, and economics admissions. CUET Maths is based entirely on NCERT Class 12 Mathematics. Calculus (integration, differentiation) and probability carry the most questions per paper. Pass rates for the CUET are published annually by the awarding body and vary by cohort and locale. For Maharashtra candidates preparing for CUET, the calibration of study to local context matters: Maharashtra hosts the largest single-state JEE Main, NEET, and CET cohorts in India. MHT-CET is the state-level entrance test; many candidates sit JEE Main, MHT-CET, and NEET in the same year.

Pass rates for CUET (Maharashtra, India) are published periodically by the awarding body.

Common failure modes

These are the patterns that cause most candidates to lose marks on this topic. Recognising them in advance is half the work.

  • !Applying integration formulas incorrectly when limits are not given (indefinite vs definite confusion)
  • !Forgetting to add the constant of integration in indefinite integrals
  • !Making arithmetic errors in matrix multiplication under time pressure

Study tips

  • 1Solve all NCERT Class 12 Mathematics exercises — CUET Maths is heavily NCERT-aligned.
  • 2Memorise the standard derivative and integral tables for trigonometric, exponential, and logarithmic functions.
  • 3Practice the three-step probability approach: identify sample space, favourable outcomes, and simplify the fraction.
  • 4JEE Main and NEET are offered in Marathi (मराठी) at all Maharashtra centres — choose the medium that matches your school instruction medium for best comprehension speed.
  • 5For NEET: Maharashtra State CET Cell runs separate state-quota counselling alongside MCC all-India counselling — register for both to maximise admission chances.
  • 6Mumbai and Pune are the highest-density centres; book test slots within 30 minutes of your home pin code to avoid Mumbai monsoon-season transit delays on test day.

Sample CUET Domain — Mathematics questions

These sample items mirror the format and difficulty of real CUET questions. Practice with thousands more on the free Koydo question bank.

  1. 1

    ∫ e^x (sin x + cos x) dx equals:

    • Ae^x sin x + CCorrect
    • Be^x cos x + C
    • Ce^x (sin x + cos x) + C
    • D2e^x sin x + C
    Why this answer?

    Using the formula ∫ e^x [f(x) + f'(x)] dx = e^x f(x) + C with f(x) = sin x and f'(x) = cos x, the integral = e^x sin x + C.

Frequently asked questions

Does CUET test Class 11 Maths or only Class 12?
The official CUET syllabus for Mathematics covers Class 12 topics primarily. However, Class 12 topics (calculus, vectors, probability) build on Class 11 concepts, so students must be comfortable with Class 11 fundamentals like sequences, trigonometry, and basic algebra.
What is the CUET pass rate for Maharashtrian candidates?
Pass rates for CUET candidates in Maharashtra, India are published periodically by the awarding body. Practice questions, full-length simulations, and weak-area drills are the highest-impact way to improve your odds.
How long should Maharashtrian candidates study Domain — Mathematics for the CUET?
For most candidates, focused mastery of Domain — Mathematics requires 20–40 hours of deliberate practice — drilling sample questions, reviewing failure modes, and timing yourself against exam conditions. Maharashtra hosts the largest single-state JEE Main, NEET, and CET cohorts in India. MHT-CET is the state-level entrance test; many candidates sit JEE Main, MHT-CET, and NEET in the same year. Combine Domain — Mathematics study with full-length mock exams in the final two weeks before your test date.
