No, the Jindal School of Environment and Sustainability (JSES) currently does not accept CUET (Common University Entrance Test) scores for admission to its undergraduate programs. Their website clearly states that the accepted qualifying examinations for the B.A. (Hons.) in Environment and Sustainable Development are:

• JSAT (Jindal Scholastic Aptitude Test): This is their own university entrance exam.
• ACT: American College Testing
• SAT: Scholastic Aptitude Test (India)
• UGAT: Under-Graduate Aptitude Test (as per UGC guidelines)

However, there are some changes coming up in the admission process for the 2024 batch onwards. As per the latest updates on the JSES website, CUET will be one of the accepted qualifying examinations starting from the next academic year. So, if you are aiming for admission in the 2025 batch, you will be eligible to apply using your CUET score.

Admission to postgraduate Diploma programmes is determined by merit, taking into account a candidate's performance in the entrance exam or the marks they received in the qualifying degree examination. The fundamental requirements for qualifying are that students must have graduated from a university approved by the UGC with a minimum aggregate grade of 45–50% for the unreserved category and 40–45% for the reserved category, however specific institution requirements may also apply with variation. Although there are no set CUET passing scores, in order to be considered for admission, a candidate must receive a minimum score of 300–400.
