The CUET (Common University Entrance Test) is a national-level entrance exam conducted for admission to undergraduate (UG), postgraduate (PG), and research programs in central universities and many other participating universities across India.
It is conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA).
The CUET aims to provide a common and standardized platform for students across India, ensuring equal opportunity for admission based on merit rather than board exam marks.
CUET scores are accepted by:
All Central Universities (like DU, JNU, BHU, AMU, etc.)
Many State, Private, and Deemed Universities (e.g., TISS, BML Munjal, Ashoka University, and more)
Over 250+ universities participate in CUET (UG), and the number is growing each year.
