The UGC chief believes that CUET offers a uniform platform and equitable possibilities to candidates throughout the nation, especially those from the North-East, rural, and other remote locations, and aids in improving relationships with the universities
The University Grant Commission (UGC) chief M Jagadesh Kumar has urged all central universities to adopt CUET-PG for admissions in 2023-24 academic batch. So far, central universities had the option to adopt CUET for its post-graduation courses admissions.
The UGC chief believes that CUET offers a uniform platform and equitable possibilities to candidates throughout the nation, especially those from the North-East, rural, and other remote locations, and aids in improving relationships with the universities. Hence, CUET- PG can allow candidates to sit for numerous central and participating universities with just one exam, covering a wide audience. The National Testing Agency (NTA) is charged with the responsibility to conduct the CUET-UG/PG.
“As you are aware, CUET provides a common platform and equal opportunities to candidates across the country, especially those from North-East, rural, and other remote areas and helps to establish better connections with the Universities. A single examination enables the candidates to cover a broad outreach and be part of the admission process to various Central and participating universities,” Kumar told PTI.
“The National Testing Agency (NTA) has been entrusted with the responsibility of conducting the CUET-UG and PG. All central universities should join CUET-PG just as they have done for CUET-UG, it will enhance the opportunities for students across India to join India’s best universities. Therefore, I urge all central universities to use CUET-PG scores for admission to the PG programmes,” he added.
