CUET-UG and CUET-PG: How Central University Admission Works
The Common University Entrance Test is run by the National Testing Agency. CUET-UG is used by central universities and many state and private universities for bachelor’s admissions; CUET-PG is used for master’s admissions. After the score card is released, you still have to fill the separate admission or counselling form of each university you want to join.
- Register for CUET on the NTA portal and choose the subjects your target course needs.
- After results, apply on each university’s own admission portal (listed below).
- Track merit lists, seat allotment and fee deadlines on the official site.
