In fact, eligibility criteria for both CUET and CUCET are different and for undergraduate courses, they require all candidates to pass in all the subjects in Class 12.

In order to change your surname to an initial after you complete your CBSE 12th, you would have to get your name rectified in the official documents before you participate in counseling in JoSAA. First, contact your respective CBSE regional office to request a name change for your Class 12 mark sheet.
