CUET is reported to be the largest public competitive exam in the world and recently it has been made compulsory for all 45 central universities. CUET for Delhi University is a new admission process for students taking admission in undergraduate courses. Now the admission will be based on Common University Entrance Test (CUET) scores. The university has decided that admissions to all colleges will be done through a central portal as per Common Seat Allocation System (CSAS) rules.
What to know?
CUET is conducted in 13 languages. The assessment scores are accepted by 86 central universities, state universities, deemed universities, and private universities instead of the 12 central universities that participated last year. The exam will be held in 13 international cities.
The shocking part of CUET is that boards will not be given weightage. This is both pleasant news as well as a little scary. However, NTA (National Testing Agency) has left open a window for allowing universities to set minimum eligibility on board exams. We must find a way to give weightage to a child’s schooling career. So considering this, your Board marks will be an eligibility criterion too.
