Common University Entrance Test or commonly known as CUET, is a national-level entrance examination. Formerly known as Central University Common Entrance Test or CUCET, CUET is a more advanced and polished form of the exam. The test is conducted by the National Testing Agency(NTA) to admit students to all the central universities and some privately owned institutes. Students appearing for CUET can select various colleges of their choice for counselling and can get admission to undergraduate programmes. This test is varied according to students’ choice of subjects, so students from the Science, Commerce and Arts streams can get admission to any course they prefer. 

Note, Science students having Physics, chemistry and maths can opt for admission to all the three streams like science, arts and commerce. However, commerce and arts students can only take admissions to either of the streams except for science.
