UGC Chairman M. Jagadesh Kumar told the print that admission to PG courses would be conducted through the Common University Entrance Test (CUET).

The announcement was made by the chairman of the University Grants Commission (UGC),Mr. Jagdesh Kumar. In an interview. 

According to M.Jagadesh Kumar Said, the CUET 2022 syllabus will mirror that of the NCERT's model syllabus for class 12. 

The CUET will consist of Section 1A, Section 1B, an overall test, and Domain Specific Subjects. In Section 1A, which is mandatory, students have their choice of 13 languages. The following languages are available: English, Hindi, Assamese, Bengali, Gujarati, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Odia, Punjabi, Tamil, Telugu, and Urdu. Students may choose to take Section 1B in addition to the languages in Section 1A if they so wish. 

According to M.Kumar, some of the languages offered include French, Arabic, German, etc. The UGC is working on extending the CUET to PG programs at central universities based on the "overwhelming response" from educational institutions, Kumar said.

There are currently different criteria for admission to PG programs at various universities. A few colleges also consider graduation marks a criterion for admission, although most have their entrance exams. CUET will bring uniformity to the application process, allowing students to apply to multiple universities through a single portal.
