How is CUET (UG) –

helpful to a student
The Common University Entrance Test CUET (UG) – 2024 will
be helpful to a student in the following ways: -
i. In the past, students used to be under stress to secure more than
95% marks in Class 12 Board Examination to get admission in the
University of their Choice. With the introduction of CUET (UG)
– 2024, the stress on them for securing very high marks in the one
and only Board Examination stands reduced.

typology of questions and the scoring pattern. These things will
now be standardised under CUET (UG) - 2024.

I secured 99% marks
in Class 12 but did not
get admission in the
desired university.
In the past, candidates had this grievance that though they scored
99% in Class 12, they could not get admission in the Universities
of their choice. This was basically because of varied typology of
questions and scoring pattern across different Boards in the
country.
These things will now get standardized with the introduction of
CUET (UG) - 2024.
The question paper pattern in CUET (UG) – 2024 will be objective
type comprising Multiple Choice Questions and hence evaluation
will be objective. In this manner, subjectivity in evaluation of the
descriptive type of papers in the traditional Class 12 exams of
different Boards will not handicap the candidates in getting
admission to the University of their choice.

both CUET (UG) –
2024 and the Board
Examinations?

will be based on Class 12 so that there is no pressure on the
candidates to prepare for both the exams.
