CUCET Exam Details
CUCET made the headlines when it was announced that CUCET 2022 will be conducted for various central universities for its different UG and PG courses. Check below to know the detailed pattern, syllabus, eligibility and universities that will accept CUCET 2022.
Although many are aware that CUCET 2022 will be conducted, however not many are aware that CUCET was already being conducted for various central universities since 2010. From 2010 to 2020, it was the Central University of Rajasthan that was administrating the CUCET exam. Till 2020, CUCET was conducted for around 14 central universities.
However, in 2021, National Testing Agency (NTA) took over the administration of the exam. The scope of the exam was also expanded by including many more central universities like Delhi University.
Facing the pressures from the ever-increasing cut-offs, and the presence of different boards with varying difficulty levels in class 12th, a need was felt of introducing a common admission test that will provide a uniform platform for assessment for the 54 central universities.
