Central Universities Common Entrance Test 2022

In a move that could be a potential game-changer for higher education in India, the government has recommended conducting a Central Universities Common Entrance Test (CUCET). There will be 54 CUCET participating Universities and colleges from the academic session 2022-2023. This may come as a surprise to many, but the move aimed at reducing the pressure of higher cut-offs in most of the reputed central universities has been in the talks for a long time now. However, the National Education Policy (NEP), which aims to bring radical changes to the education set up in the country, paved the way for the Common Entrance Test.
There are 54 Central Universities in India at the moment including University of Delhi (DU), Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU), Banaras Hindu University (BHU), etc. There is a common entrance test for 13 newly established Central Universities across different states. While the current CUCET has been conducted once a year in offline mode, the newly planned Central Universities Common Entrance Test (CUCET 2022) will be conducted in online mode by the National Testing Agency (NTA). To start with, the test will be conducted once for the academic session 2022-2023, but from the subsequent years, the test will be conducted twice a year giving students an opportunity to improve their scores if needed.
In this article, we will discuss CUCET Colleges and participating universities that will accept CUCET scores.
