CUET UG aims to:

• Streamline admissions through a common testing platform

• Provide equal opportunity to students from diverse educational boards

• Reduce reliance on Class 12 board exam percentages

In 2025, CUET UG saw participation from elite institutions like Delhi University, Banaras Hindu University, Jamia Millia Islamia, Aligarh Muslim University, and several IITs offering B.Sc. programs via CUET scores.
