CUET 2025 orientation: A brief overview

The Common University Entrance Test (CUET), introduced by the University Grants Commission (UGC), serves as a single-window examination for admissions into undergraduate and postgraduate programmes across central, state, and several private universities in India. Designed to streamline the admission process and ensure transparency, CUET has become a key factor in determining entry to top higher education institutions.
As CUET gains importance, the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has encouraged schools to adapt their academic planning and student preparation strategies accordingly. Schools are being advised to focus more on conceptual understanding, application-based learning, and NCERT textbooks to align with CUET’s structure. The test evaluates students on multiple parameters, including language proficiency, subject-specific knowledge, and general aptitude.
