 What is CUET?

We all have a dream
after 12th that our admission should also be done in some good or big college.
Till now it used to be on the basis of 12th merit on the college. But for taking
admission in Central University, a compulsory common test has been made, it is
called CUET.

CUET is now binding
on Central Universities. It is not binding for other universities, they can
adopt it if they want. Central University-Combined Entrance Test (CU-CET) is an
all India examination being conducted for admission to various
integrated/undergraduate, postgraduate and research programs in several Central
Universities and State Universities of India. The exam is conducted by the
National Testing Service (NTA).

What is merit?

If we talk about CUET exam, then to appear in CUET-UG
exam, it is mandatory for the candidate to pass 12th or its equivalent from any
recognized board. There is no compulsion of 12th board marks in this. However,
the university may impose a minimum mark requirement (eg 50%). Candidate can do
12th from any subject and can give entrance exam in any subject and take
admission.

For domain specific subjects, we will get all the questions from 12th NCERT. So read NCERT with proper understanding. There is no better book than NCERT. That’s why you should try to understand NCERT only. These are government books, they will appear in the exam from here only.

For your convenience, we are giving you the names and links of the universities so that it becomes easier for you.
