CUET 2023: Two autonomous colleges in Mumbai, NM and Mithibai, and Somaiya Vidyavihar University (SVU) have decided to conduct admission through University Grants Commission's (UGC) Common University Entrance Test (CUET) scores. Last year, N M and Mithibai, under the SVKM group of institutions, admitted students through their private entrance tests. Admissions to all self-financed courses were entirely based on the test scores.

He added, equal weightage is given this year to recognize efforts of students in both the exams. Students keen on securing admission will have to register for CUET, on https://cuet.samarth.ac.in, before March 30.

The same notification will be applicable to Mithibai too. Both colleges have uploaded the admission notices on the website. SVU also will be admitting students for its undergraduate and postgraduate courses using CUET scores from this year.

The number of institutions participating in CUET increased this year to 100-plus.
