Hello ayush hope you are doing well

BSc is a future oriented course which emphasis on research as well as teaching oriented degree It gives you a depth on that subject But it depends on your future what you want to do. Btech is industry based course and Bsc is a research based academic degree and NEET is a entry level of professional course If you have enough courage to take a drop and crack any entrance of Engineering or neet for good colleges then you can drop a year. But firstly make sure that your drop year should be worth enough in future.it totally depends on you how you are going to spend your coming year.

If you are not sure about any of these courses and want to take admission this year go for bachelor in science in private universities as they still open their admission process.

Hello Aspirant,

It is sad that you didn't have the information but don't worry. As the CUET-UG Exam has already been held. The first thing you can do is to wait until the forms are out for CUET-UG in the month of Feb-March.

Apparently, a new policy of appearing in CUET-UG twice a year has been proposed. However, will it get implemented this year (2024) is not COMFIRMED.

Hope for this best!


Hello aspirant

This is a big mistake , how can you select a wrong board.  Anyways as correction window is closed , nothing  can be done now .

First thing don't be panic , think calmly , send a mail to official website of cuet .

If they are responding it is well and good . You won't face difficulty at the time of entrance exam but at the time of counseling this issue can create a great problem.

If you are not getting response to your mail , you woll have to go to venue of cuet . Any how you will have to solve this issue otherwise your one year time will get wasted.
