NTA allows candidates to choose CUET subjects irrespective of their Class 12 subjects, but universities usually require that the domain subjects chosen in CUET must have been studied in Class 12. Selecting subjects not studied earlier may lead to disqualification at the admission stage, even if the candidate scores well. Therefore, candidates must carefully check university-specific eligibility criteria before subject selection.
