What is CUET?
CUET (Common University Entrance Test)is India's national entrance exam for undergraduate admissions to many central universities and other participating institutions. Instead of each university running a separate entrance test for every programme, CUET provides a common score that universities use — along with their own eligibility rules — to shortlist applicants.
Why CUET matters after Class 12
If you are aiming for central universities or CUET-participating private/state options, your subject paper choices and domain scores matter as much as board marks. Always confirm the current NTA information bulletin and each university's programme mapping.
