CUET General Aptitude Test

The CUET General Aptitude Test (paper 501) has no prescribed textbook, and NTA lists only broad areas: general knowledge and current affairs, general mental and numerical ability, quantitative reasoning built on basic arithmetic, algebra, geometry, mensuration and statistics, logical and analytical reasoning, and general science with environmental literacy. The maths and science stay close to Class 10 NCERT level, so those two books are the safest base. Static GK about the Constitution, geography and national institutions is steadier ground than fast-changing news. Speed matters as much as knowledge, so practise series, coding, blood relations and percentage problems against the clock.
