The Common University Entrance Test, or CUET, will replace the individual admission policies of central universities from this year. The details of the exam were announced by the National Testing Agency (NTA) on its official website in April. The entrance exam is the gateway for undergraduate university admissions in all central universities.
Earlier known as CUCET, the exam has seen a total transformation starting from the name to the list of participating universities, exam pattern and syllabus. The CUET exam announced by NTA is the undergraduate one.
Here are the basics:
Registrations started on April 7 and the last date to fill the application form is May 22. The correction window to edit any mistakes in the CUET application form will be opened from May 25 to 31. CUET 2022 will be held in the first and second week of July 2022 tentatively.
These are the main points to keep in mind about the CUET exam:

NTA has specified that candidates who have passed their Class 12 or are appearing for it in 2022 are eligible to appear for the CUET exam.
There is no age limit for the exam. However, the eligibility for admissions depends upon the respective university and the course. So, candidates will need to check the detailed CUET eligibility criteria on the CUET official website by going to the tab for the participating universities where each university’s criteria have been specified along with the CUET exam paper to be attempted.
The biggest change is in the paper pattern. The new CUET exam pattern has three sections and can be summarised as follows
Sections | Subjects/ Tests | Questions To Attempt | No. Of Questions Per Paper | Duration |
Section IA Language | 1 language to be chosen from a total of 13 | 40 | 50 | 45 minutes for each language |
Section 1B - Languages | 1 language (apart from IA) out of 20 languages | 40 | 50 | 45 minutes for each language |
Section II - Domain | 27 Domain-specific subjects out of which a maximum of 6 can be selected | 40 | 50 | 45 Minutes for each subject |
Section III General Test | As per university specifications | 60 | 75 | 60 Minutes |
