UGC has made CUET scores mandatory for central universities
Ambedkar University, Delhi, will admit students to undergraduate courses through the Common University Entrance Test (CUET).
The eligibility criteria will be decided on the basis of marks obtained in CUET, Ambedkar University vice-chancellor Anu Singh Lather said.
“It is mandatory for all the candidates to appear in CUET 2022, including those seeking admission to supernumerary seats,” she said.
Kartik Dave, dean (planning), Ambedkar University, said candidates will be able to appear in CUET only in subjects that they have studied in Class XII.
The merit will be calculated based on combination of only those subjects in which the candidate has appeared in the CUET, he said.
UGC chairman M Jagadesh Kumar has announced that central universities will have to use CUET scores to admit students to undergraduate programmes from the 2022-23 session.
Suresh Babu, dean of student services, Ambedkar University, said CUET will provide a level playing field for the students. “Being a state university, it was not mandatory for us to go for CUET. However, in the interest of the larger society, we decided to go for CUET as sooner or later all universities will be asked to join,” he said.
CUET will have three parts: compulsory language, 27 subject domains, and general test on quantitative reasoning, logical and analytical reasoning, numerical ability, and general knowledge and current affairs. All questions across sections will consider Class XII level as the benchmark.
The exam will be conducted in a Computer-Based Test (CBT) mode.
