CUET 2022 will judge every student on equal parameters: DU VC

CUET will judge all students on equal parameters and will not be disadvantageous for those who studied under boards that are not lenient in awarding marks, he said.

DU Admissions 2022: Delhi University Vice-Chancellor Yogesh Singh has said that the cut-off system does not offer equal opportunities to all students, hence, Common University Entrance Test (CUET) is important. CUET will judge all students on equal parameters and will not be disadvantageous for those who studied under boards that are not lenient in awarding marks, he said.

CUET 2022 Application process for UG courses in 45 central universities began on April 6.  "The CUET is a transparent, entrance test-based system and every student will be given an equal opportunity. The prior system (cut-off) was not giving equal opportunities to the students," Singh told PTI in an interview, as reported by NDTV.

While noting that the previous system gave undue advantage to those who studied under boards that had a lenient marking system, he said all students should be assessed on similar parameters.

"The earlier system was not favouring those who came from strict or moderate boards. A country like India has 30 to 40 state boards, every board has its own uniqueness and we do respect that. But students should be measured on similar parameters," Singh said.

Earlier, many people have protested that CUET will give rise to a coaching culture and will be disadvantageous for all those students from boards other than the CBSE since the test syllabus will be mirrored with the NCERT syllabus.

While speaking on it, he said, "Our objective as a university is that we should provide equal opportunities. I do not think students will require coaching classes because the question paper will be easy for someone who has studied the Class-12 syllabus well. These questions should come with reasonable difficulty and for someone who has studied well in Class 12, it should not be difficult," Singh said.
