Paper Predict Notes · 07 Feb 2026

Commerce students usually take Accountancy, Business Studies and Economics as CUET domain subjects. All three follow the Class 12 syllabus, so your board preparation is the base. What changes is the question format.
This guide covers CUET Commerce preparation subject by subject. Check the latest NTA information bulletin for subject lists, question counts, timing and marking.

Accountancy
Expect short calculations and conceptual questions from partnership, admission and retirement, company accounts and financial statement analysis. Ratios, sacrificing and gaining ratios, goodwill and share forfeiture are common. Practise quick calculations without full ledger formats.
Business Studies
Questions test concepts and their application: principles of management, functions of management, financial management, marketing and consumer protection. Case-based MCQs ask you to identify a concept from a situation, just like board case studies.
Economics
Macroeconomics brings numericals on national income and the multiplier, plus money and banking and budget concepts. Indian Economic Development questions test facts and reasons. Know key terms precisely.
