If you're preparing for the CUET Sociology exam, first understand the basics of the subject. An NCERT book of Class 12 will help you do that. 

  • You can also apply the strategic study approach, where you'll create a study schedule, focus on the important topics, and then establish a connection between the topics. 
  • Third, practice and revision are key. Try solving previous years' papers and taking mock tests.
  • Lastly, staying updated with the current affairs is equally important being a Sociology aspirant.
