CUET UG is a national-level entrance exam for undergraduate admissions across central, state, deemed, and private universities in India.
Through one common test, students can apply to multiple universities and courses using a single CUET score.
CUET UG (Common University Entrance Test – Undergraduate) is conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA) for admission to undergraduate programs offered by participating universities.
Instead of appearing for multiple university entrance exams, candidates can use a single CUET score for course-wise cutoffs and counselling.
CUET is not a qualifying exam. Final admission depends on subject requirements, university rules, and cutoff scores.
