For the last many years, we have been seeing the trend of sky rocketing cut-offs at several central universities, including Delhi University for admissions to undergraduate courses.

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, Banaras Hindu University, Sikkim University, Mizoram University, Central University of Himachal Pradesh, Central Univerity of Kerala, etc.
