CUET is not an immensely difficult exam, as the difficulty level ranges from moderate to difficult, but it is indeed a highly competitive exam, which makes securing a good rank a tad bit difficult. We can also say that the difficulty level of CUET also depends on your level of preparation; someone with proper preparation might not find the exam as difficult as someone with less preparation.

This is not just the case with CUET; every exam is difficult if you are not adequately prepared for it. What matters most is how much hard work and consistent effort you are willing to put in. So, all in all, we can say that passing the exam is not as difficult, but securing a good rank requires hard work and focus.
