CUET

As of 2025, admission to most government colleges for women in India generally requires the CUET (Common University Entrance Test) score, as it has become a standard criterion for undergraduate admissions in central and many state universities. However, there are some government degree colleges, particularly in regions like Jammu and Kashmir, that have been exempted from requiring CUET scores due to geographical constraints and infrastructural challenges. In these cases, admissions are based on 12th class marks through a centralized portal instead.

So, if you are applying to a government college for women outside such exempted zones, you likely must have a valid CUET 2025 score for admission. It is best to check the specific college or university admission notification for 2025 to confirm whether CUET is mandatory or if any exemption applies.
