CUCET 2021 dates to be announced by next week. Read further to know more.
CUCET 2021: The government is likely to take a final call on the commencement of the CUCET Exam 2021 within the next seven or 10 days. As per the media reports, the decision is likely to be taken before July 15, 2021.
While speaking to a media house, Delhi University, acting Vice-Chancellor, PC Joshi said, “The final decision on CUCET is likely to be shared by the government in the next one week or 10 days. While we may begin the admission process in July, the intricacies of admissions such as criteria for cut-off lists, normalisation of Class 12 marks, can only be discussed after the board results are declared across the country."
Joshi is also a part of the seven-member committee, headed by the Vice-Chancellor of the Central University of Punjab which has submitted its report for the modalities and implementation of the CUCET exam to the education ministry.
While the Ministry of Education is yet to take any decision on the commencement of the CUCET exam form this year, many central universities across the country have already begun their admissions process and decided to do away with the CUCET exam for admissions to forthcoming academic session. However, Delhi University has still left its doors unclosed for the CUCET exam. For the academic session 2021-22, there will be a single CUCET 2021 application form for admission to 41 central universities.
Joshi further said in the report that the university is hoping for CUCET to become a reality. He added that since different boards have adopted different marking schemes for the Class 12th result, this year and the admission process is going to get delayed till September, a central exam can bring uniformity to the admission process.
The University of Delhi is likely to start the DU admission process for entrance-based and postgraduate courses from the third week of July. The entrance-based admission will begin at least a week prior to the UG merit-based admissions.
The Delhi University (DU) is considering conducting DU admissions 2021 based on the combined performance of students in the Central University Common Entrance Test (CUCET) as well as board exams for its undergraduate courses, according to officials.
Even though the weightage of the two scores in determining the eligibility of candidates is yet to be decided, reports suggest that 50 per cent of the weightage will be given to Class 12th boards while the other 50 per cent to CUCET score.
Earlier, while welcoming the CBSE 12th evaluation criteria announced by the CBSE board, Joshi had said that if the CUCET does not happen this year, we will decide on some mature method of evaluation and prepare merit lists accordingly.
CBSE will announce the CBSE 12th Result 2021 by July 31 based on classes 10, 11, and 12 marks.
Rajeev Gupta, chairman, DU admissions, told a media house, "We might start the registration process (for admissions) by the third week of July. There are chances that we might start the registration process for the nine entrance-based courses and postgraduate courses by that time in the first phase and then the registration process for the merit-based courses. The gap between the two phases won't be more than a week or 10 days."
