The
National Testing Agency (NTA) is coordinating the Combined University Entrance
Test (CUET) 2024 during the timeframe of the 21st to the 31st of May 2024. This
exam is being held at 500+ urban communities in India and 10 abroad. On the
official website, there are practice queries for the various subject tests and
general tests (in all languages). NTA has arranged the test in various shifts
and over various days, with the goal that candidates can be admitted to
different undergraduate/integrated, postgraduate, and research programs at
centrally-funded universities. For CUET (UG) 2024, more than 14 lakh people
have registered and applied for the thousands of different courses available
across 90+ institutes in India. As of late, there have been several
modifications made to the exam scheduling and related aspects, so this article
comprises all the pertinent information about CUET 2024.
43 Central Universities, including Visva Bharati University, Jawaharlal
Nehru University, Delhi University, Banaras Hindu University (BHU), Jamia Milia
Islamia, Aligarh Muslim University, Central University of Tamil Nadu,
University of Hyderabad, Central University of Kerala, and Central University
of Punjab, among others, will accept the results of the CUET 2024 exam. Due to
logistical challenges, the Central Government has decided to exempt Central
Universities in the Northeastern States and Uttarakhand from hosting the exam.
What is CUET?
The NTA administers the
Central University Entrance Test (CUET), a national entrance examination for
admission to UG programmes provided by all participating universities. The
University Grants Commission has modified the exam's original full name, Central
Universities Common Entrance Test, or CUCET, from last year (UGC). Over 500
places in India and overseas host the exam once a year. For two hours, the exam
is given in a computer-based style. Initially, CUCET was administered by UGC
using a paper-and-pencil format. Since last year, NTA has been administering
the test using computers.
What's New in CUET 2024
The modifications made in CUET 2024 are shown by the following points:
• Central University Entrance Test has replaced Central Universities
Common Entrance Test (CUCET) as the exam's name (CUET)
• There will be 13 languages used at CUET 2024.
• The CUET 2024 question bank will consist of a general test, two
domain-specific tests, and a language test that is required.
• In contrast to the 12 Central Universities that participated last
year, 53 Central Universities and Private Universities will accept CUET 2024
marks.
• The cost of the application has changed. Applicants in the PwD
category did not have to pay an application fee up until last year, but this
year they must pay the charge for candidates in the reserved category.
• 13 cities abroad will
participate in the exam's administration.
