With the Central Universities Entrance Test (CUET) UG 2022, students with low marks in board exams too stand a chance to get admissions to top universities across India, said University Grants Commission (UGC) chairman Mamidala Jagadesh Kumar. Students can now apply without the burden of scoring very high marks in the range of 99 to 100 per cent in board exams, he added.
“For students who could not get high board scores, earlier it was not possible to get admission in top universities. But now it is within reach. The participation of large number of universities too is very encouraging. In the coming years, more universities are expected to adopt CUET. With the possibility that CUET will be conducted twice in a year, this will further help the students to plan and attempt CUET. Best wishes to all CUET applicants,” said Kumar.
