About this exam
CUET UG (Common University Entrance Test, Undergraduate) is a national computer-based test conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA) for admission to undergraduate programmes at central universities and many state, private and deemed universities. It is modular: a candidate appears for one or more Language papers, up to five Domain Subject papers, and the General Test, each a separate 50-question, 60-minute paper. Every question carries five marks with one mark deducted for a wrong answer, and all fifty questions in a paper are compulsory. Domain subjects and the General Test are bilingual in English and Hindi. A candidate's chosen combination of papers determines their scorecard, which universities use for admission through the CUET common counselling.
Eligibility
Candidates who have passed or are appearing in class 12 (or equivalent) are eligible to appear for CUET UG. There is no age limit for the test itself, though individual universities may set their own age and eligibility criteria for specific programmes. Confirm eligibility for each programme against the university and the live NTA information bulletin on cuet.nta.nic.in.
