There are about 1 lakh applicants for UG Entrance Tests. The CUET will eliminate having to write multiple entrance tests for college admission

M Jagadesh Kumar, chairman of the University Grants Commission (UGC),told news channel NDTV on Sunday, 17 April, that admission into undergraduate programmes will be easier with the Common University Entrance Test (CUET). CUET registration, which starts on 6 April 2022, will conclude on 30 April 2022. CUET is an entrance exam for undergraduate programs in 45 central universities.

The chairman of the UGC also mentioned that a common entrance test for undergraduate admissions is proposed in the new National Education Policy (NEP) for 2020. In an announcement on the introduction of the CUET, the Chairman of UGC stated, "Students now have the choice of taking a single entrance test, instead of 14 entrance tests conducted by 14 central universities."

The application of Entrance Tests to admissions in UG programmes has become a global phenomenon; it is not a new concept. CUET 2022 will close its admissions portal on 6 May 2022. Students looking for CUET application forms should visit the website cuet.samarth.ac.in and register themselves.  For admission to undergraduate courses or programmes at central universities in the country, CUET 2022 is conducted.

The CUET test will be computer-based with multiple-choice questions (MCQs). A total of 13 languages will be offered in CUET 2022, including English, Hindi, Gujarati, Bengali, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Odia, Punjabi, Tamil, Telugu, and Urdu.
