Q: How is CUET exam centre allocated?
CUET exam centre is allocated on the basis of the preferences entered by the candidate while filling the CUET application form. NTA allotes exam centre as per the preference entered and is subject to availability and logistical consideration.
While filling the CUET application form, candidates can select two cities of their choice. Choice of CUET exam centre cities will be limited to the State of permanent address or State of present address only. In case, there are very few candidates from a city, the NTA reserves the right to merge one, two, or more cities.
CUET 2025 exam will be held in May-June 2025 in computer based mode over a 15 days window. The exam will be held across more than 300 exam cities in India. Candidates will be able to know the alloted exam centre on issuance of CUET intimation slip or CUET admit card.
Q: What is CUET UG passing marks?
There are no prescribed passing marks for CUET UG. In order to know if a candidate has passed the CUET 2025 exam or not or is eligible for admission to desired course and university, they are required to check the passing marks released by the colleges/university seperately. After the declaration of CUET result, all the colleges or universities will release the course-wise passing marks or CUET UG cutoff, which will be used for shortlisting candidates for admission to UG courses.
On the basis of the cut off released by the CUET participating universities and candidates meeting the criteria will be offered amdission to UG courses.
Q: Why is CUET important?
NTA conducts Common University Entrance Test or CUET for admission to UG courses of central, state, private or deemed universities. Untill 2022, each university had its distinct entrance exam or admission criteria for UG courses. To create fairness in admission process, CUET was introduced. It is common entrance exam for all central universities. Some of the important factors why CUET is important are:
- It gives equal opprtunities to candidates during the admission process. The pressure of immese weightage to 12th marks is reduced.
- Cutoffs will be based on CUET score/percentile ensuring fair mechanism for students.
- CUET puts an end to subjective bias. Candidates can appear for their domain subject exam and get admission on the basis of the score obtained in CUET.
