In a letter to vice-chancellors of all universities, the UGC said, "As you are aware, the Common University Entrance Test (CUET) has been introduced for admission into UG/ PG programmes in Central Universities and other participating Universities. CUET provides a common platform and equal opportunities to candidates across the country, especially those from North-East, rural, and other remote areas, and helps to establish better connections with the Universities."
"A single Examination enables the Candidates to cover a broad outreach and be part of the admissions process to various Central and participating Universities. The National Testing Agency (NTA) has been entrusted with the responsibility of conducting the CUET- UG / PG," the letter added.
The salient features of CUET- UG/PG 2023 are outlined below: -
