About CUET Exam

The Common University Entrance Test (CUET) UG is an entrance examination administered by the National Testing Agency (NTA) for undergraduate admissions throughout India. Serving as a unified portal, CUET UG facilitates undergraduate entry into numerous universities across the country. Its importance has escalated as many universities have phased out their own entrance tests in favor of CUET. The NTA orchestrates CUET in more than 500 cities both in India and overseas.

The exam is structured in a way to facilitate admission to multiple courses, such as BVoc, BSc, BBA, BCom, among others. Universities accepting CUET scores conduct counselling rounds individually for admission into affiliated colleges.
