Central universities

Delhi University, BHU, JNU, Jamia and the other central universities, admitting through a common entrance since board marks alone stopped being enough.

Ministry of Education · India

Open now, no closing date announced

Undergraduate admission through CUET UG. Each university sets its own subject combinations and cut-offs.

Why this one matters

Board marks no longer secure admission to these universities, and families who plan around a board percentage discover CUET too late to prepare for it.

What it covers

admission route. Levels funded: undergraduate, postgraduate.

Who can apply

You must be a citizen of India

Where applications fail

Most rejected applications are not ineligible students. They are eligible students who missed a step.

Each university and course prescribes which CUET subjects it will count. Choosing the wrong subjects at registration can make you ineligible for the course you wanted.
Cut-offs are published per university and per course after the result, not before, so there is no reliable target score to aim at in advance.
Some courses still require specific Class 12 subjects regardless of CUET performance.

If this one is not for you

Being ruled out of a scheme is not the same as having no options. Here is what is still open.

Missed CUET? State universities and many private universities admit on board marks or their own tests.
Wanted a specific course rather than a specific university? Use the search to find which entrances reach that course.
Open schooling or a gap year? NIOS certificates are accepted for university admission, though individual exams may set their own conditions.
