NEW DELHI, Jan 15
The National Testing Agency (NTA) may conduct the Common University Entrance Test-Undergraduate (CUET-UG) 2025 exam in Computer Based Test (CBT) in May, and the results may be announced in the first week of June, said the University Grants Commission (UGC) Chairman Prof M Jagadesh Kumar.
Speaking with TNIE, he said the NTA will announce the CUET-PG examination date sooner as they are scheduled for March.
Apart from the CUET-PG exam, other admission-related examinations like NEET-UG, JEE-Main, and CUET-UG, will be announced by NTA in one go on the same day.
He said following the recommendation of the Committee, led by former ISRO Chairman Dr K Radhakrishnan, all entrance exams will now be held in CBT mode. “So we have switched to CBT mode for CUET.”
He said the CUET-UG exam will happen only after the board exams.
“Typically, board exams are over by April. It is in the NTA’s domain to announce the exam date, depending on the logistics and when the (board) results are announced. They may hold the CUET-UG in May. The results will then be announced in June, and admissions can take place from July, so from July mid, the new academic session can start,” he said.
The committee was set up to recommend exam reformation, better security protocols, and its operation by the Union Education Ministry following allegations of cheating and mismanagement in the NEET-UG exams last year.
Following the Committee's recommendation, entrance exams will see changes this year. While the NTA will ensure that the centres are more efficient and accessible to students and manage the examination in a secure manner to avoid paper leakages, the UGC has announced several changes in the CUET-UG 2025 exams.
