CUCET 2022: Check out the paper pattern, syllabus, universities covered and other details for CUET 2022.
The Central University Common Entrance Test (CUCET) or the Common University Entrance Test (CUET) is a computerised entrance exam for admission to 45 central universities in India wherein one’s Class 12 marks won’t matter. The universities can use the Class 12 marks as one eligibility criterion at best.
It will be conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA) in the first week of July, UGC chairman M Jagadesh Kumar announced on Monday. The application window will be open in the first week of April.
The trend of impossibly high cut-off marks in central universities such as Delhi University’s 100% cut-offs will now be history as the Class 12 marks will no more be a factor in central university admissions.
As per experts, this is because CBSE, CISCE and the different state boards in India all have different evaluation patterns which make it unfair for students applying to central universities with a wide diversity in evaluation patterns.
CUCET 2022 or CUET 2022 which will be held for the first time in July will do away with these inconsistencies and bring 45 central universities under the same ambit.
NTA will prepare a merit list after CUCET based on which the central universities will admit students. No common counselling will be carried out.
Some of the major central universities covered under CUCET or CUET include Delhi University, Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU), Jamia Millia Islamia, Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU), Aligarh Muslim University and Banaras Hindu University
