UGC has left the choice to the educational institutions to either consider class 12 marks or conduct entrance exams for the session. However, showing its concern regarding the clash of various entrance examinations and the burden on students to appear in multiple competitive exams, the commission has appealed to the institutions to consider the CUET 2022 score for admissions.

“To save students from appearing in multiple entrance examinations, conducted on different dates, sometimes coinciding with each other, and to also provide equal opportunity to all students from different boards, UGC invites and encourages all state universities, deemed to be universities, private universities and other Higher Educational Institutions (HEIs) to adopt and use CUET score from 2022-23 onwards for admission of students in their UG programs,” the UGC said.
