Student: I’ve been hearing about CUET everywhere! What exactly is it?

Knowledgehubforall: CUET stands for Common University Entrance Test. It’s a single, centralized exam that many central, state, and private universities in India use. Now it uses to admit students into its undergraduate (CUET-UG) and postgraduate (CUET-PG) courses.

Student: So instead of filling out separate forms for each college, I just give this one test?

Knowledgehubforall: Exactly! That’s the whole idea. CUET is conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA) — the same body that handles exams like JEE and NEET. It helps standardize admissions across universities.

Student: That actually sounds so much simpler.

Knowledgehubforall: It really is. Once you take CUET, you get a single scorecard and can apply to multiple universities with it. You don’t need to appear for dozens of different entrance exams anymore.

Student: That’s awesome! So is it really that important now?

Knowledgehubforall: Absolutely. The scope and weight of CUET have grown tremendously. Most top universities in India — like Delhi University, Banaras Hindu University (BHU), Allahabad University, and Jamia Millia Islamia — now use CUET scores for admission. For students aiming for the best courses and colleges, CUET has become a must-take exam.

Student: Wow, so CUET is like the main gateway to the best universities now.

Knowledgehubforall: You got it! It’s fair, transparent, and gives students from every state and board an equal shot at their dream college.
