What is CUET (Common University Entrance Test)?
The Common University Entrance Test (CUET) is a national-level exam conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA) under the administration of the Ministry of Education to get admission in UG (undergraduate), and Integrated UG-PG courses in the central and state universities. The CUET UG exam is conducted online as a computer-based test.
The CUET exam was introduced by the government to give common ground to all the students who want to be admitted to central and state universities. This will eliminate the discrimination created due to different board marking schemes and difficulty levels. This doesn’t mean the CUET will eliminate the weightage of class 12th marks in undergraduate courses. The CUET exam is used to grant scholarships to UG and PG courses.
