The Common University Entrance Test (CUET UG), conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA), is a single computer-based test for undergraduate admission to a large number of central, state, deemed and private universities — including the University of Delhi, Banaras Hindu University, Jawaharlal Nehru University and many more.
How CUET UG Works
Candidates choose subjects and a general/aptitude test according to the requirements of the universities and programmes they are targeting. Admission is then based on the CUET score and each university's own counselling and eligibility criteria. CUET aims to give students across boards a fair, common platform.
Please note: subject combinations and university participation change each year — always verify the latest details on the official NTA CUET website.
