COLLEGE ADMISSIONS WILL BE DRIVEN BY THE COMMON ENTRANCE TEST, NOT CLASS 12 GRADES


New Delhi, India: From now on, college admissions will be based on a common entrance exam rather than Class 12 grades. According to University Grants Commission (UGC) chief Jagadesh Kumar, this will relieve the stress of absurdly high college cut-offs by as much as 100 percent.

In this your 10-points:

1. The new Common University Education Test (CUET) will be administered in the first week of July, after the majority of Class 12 board exams have been finished. The application procedure will begin in the first week of April and will be conducted entirely online.

2. According to the UGC chairwoman, the exam would be a computer-based, multiple-choice test that will be simple in terms of technology.

3. Inventive+ phrasing "Students do not need to be computer savvy to participate. Almost every student nowadays has access to a smartphone. They can go to the testing centre and select an answer from the multiple-choice alternatives using the mouse "Mr Kumar stated.

4 "It is absurd to have a 100% cut-off for admission to numerous undergraduate programmes at some of the best universities in the world. The same exam will ensure that all students across the country are on an equal footing "Mr Kumar went on to say that he thinks pupils would now be able to concentrate more on learning rather than merely aiming to get the best grades in their class 12 exams.

5. All central universities must take the entrance exam, which will be administered by the National Testing Agency (NTA), and the top education agency is requesting that all state, deemed-to-be, and private colleges use the test scores for undergraduate admissions across the country.

6. According to Mr Kumar, "one nation, one admission test" will be a huge relief for students all around the country. "As a result, pupils will not be required to take multiple types of entrance exams," he continued.

7. Anyone who has completed their high school diploma is qualified to take the common admission exam. "However, universities may use class 12 grades to create admission requirements," the UGC chairwoman stated.

8. As a result, while universities must admit undergraduate students based on the common test, they are free to set a minimum standard for class 12 grades for determining eligibility.

9. According to Mr Kumar, the entrance exam's syllabus will be matched with the NCERT's Class 12 model syllabus.

10. According to Mr Kumar, the common test will have no impact on university reservation policies. "On the basis of CUET scores, universities can enrol candidates for public seats as well as reserved seats." "The existing admittance and reservation policy will not be affected," he stated.
