CUET 2022: Common University Entrance Test (CUET) 2022 application process is currently underway. CUET is likely to be conducted twice a year, starting next year or in academic session 2023, as per reports. 

All those students who wish to write the entrance exam for undergraduate admissions to central and other universities in the country will get two opportunities to do so, as reported by Times Now. CUET 2022 will be conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA). As per the reports, the CUET will be conducted twice a year from next academic session and will also be held after class 12 board exams, just like this year.

With an aim to help students and give them greater opportunity to get admission in UG courses, NTA is mulling conducting CUET two times in line with National Education Policy, NEP 2020. If it is implemented, the first CUET exam will be conducted in June and the next will be held in July.

While there is no clarity yet on what changes can be expected in CUET from next year, one knows that the exam will still be based on the class 12 syllabus. More decisions are expected once CUET is carried out this year.

Currently, CUET 2022 registrations are underway and will continue until May 6, 2022. The schedule of CUET PG admissions is also expected to be announced very soon.

CUET 2022 will be conducted in 13 languages including English, Hindi, Assamese, Bengali, Gujarati, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Odia, Punjabi, Tamil, Telugu, and Urdu.
