Feedback on proposed revised methodology for CUET (UG) and CUET (PG) 2025.
The Common University Entrance Test (CUET) was introduced as a step toward
standardizing the admission process for undergraduate (UG) and postgraduate
(PG) programmes across universities. Based on feedback from past years, it is
also essential to continuously improve the examination process to provide a better,
more efficient and conducive environment for students taking CUET.
Accordingly, the UGC constituted an expert committee to review the conduct of CUET-UG and CUET-PG for 2025. The expert committee examined various
aspects of the test, such as its structure, number of papers, duration of test papers, syllabus alignment, and operational logistics.
The proposed revised methodology for CUET (UG) and CUET (PG) 2025 is
enclosed for perusal and feedback from all the stakeholders. The feedback may be submitted through the Google Form available at https://forms.gle/FVEL2nthLrnxz5U8VA within fifteen (15) days from the date of the publication of this Public Notice, on or before 26.12.2024.
Draft proposal on the conduct of CUET-UG & CUET-PG 2025
The Common University Entrance Test (CUET) was introduced as a step toward standardizing the admission process for undergraduate (UG) and postgraduate (PG) programmes across universities. CUET has provided a level playing field for students from diverse educational boards and socio-economic backgrounds, ensuring equal opportunity for all aspirants. Last year, 283 universities adopted CUET, and the number of registered candidates was 13,47,820.
By encouraging the Universities to adopt a single, national-level entrance test, CUET has streamlined admissions, reduced the reliance on varying cut-offs, and made the admission process transparent and technology-driven.
Based on feedback from past years, it is also essential to continuously improve the examination process to provide a better, more efficient and conducive environment for students taking CUET.
In this spirit, the UGC has constituted an expert committee to review the conduct of CUET-UG and CUET-PG for 2025. The committee has examined various aspects of the test, such as its structure, number of papers, duration of test papers, syllabus alignment, and operational logistics. The commission considered these recommendations in its meeting held on 13th November 2024.
