This makes the process of admission uneven in terms of opportunity and demographics, so the CUET UG exam was introduced to reduce the high cut-off standards for entering these prestigious colleges.

  • The computer-based common entrance assessment to be administered by the National Testing Agency (NTA) will be compulsory for admission to all participating central universities.
  • Instead of appearing for multiple entrance tests, you can now focus on a single aptitude test to get admission to top universities like JNU, DU, BHU, etc.
