To get admission into all Undergraduate Programs at all Central Universities, the Common University Entrance Test (CUET- UG) is created by the National Testing Agency (NTA) under the Ministry of Education. The Common University Entrance Test (CUET) provides applicants with a single platform and equal national opportunity, especially for applicants from rural and remote areas. Candidates can participate in the admissions process of numerous central universities by passing only one exam.
Students wishing to study undergraduate at central universities are required to appear for the CUET Exam, which is mandatory. Student government grades do not affect a student’s admission to college or program. It is based solely on a student’s CUET score, but board scores may serve as a minimum eligibility criterion for admission.
Central University Entrance Test (CUET) was earlier known as Central University Common Entrance Test (CUCET). Students will get a single-window opportunity to seek admission to any of the Central Universities across the nation. Previously, UGC conducted this test in paper mode. However, since last year, the National Testing Agency (NTA) has been in charge. Hosting more universities and institutions today, CUET 2023 has a much greater scope and opportunity.
