Over 10 Lakh Students Apply For CUET: DU, BHU & Allahabad University Most Popular Picks

 

Over 1 million (10 Lac) students have applied for CUET till now. Delhi University, Banaras Hindu University & Allahabad University emerged as the top picks by students. Since each student is allowed to apply for up to 9 papers, a total of 46 lakh applications have been made so far. Majority of the registrations are from students of Delhi, UP, MP, Haryana & Rajasthan

A total of 86 universities will be admitting UG students through the exam in the 2022-2023 academic session

·         44 Central Universities

·         11 Deemed Universities

·         12 State Universities

·         19 Private Universities

While the dates for the exam have not been declared yet, the following universities saw the highest number of applications

1.      Delhi University: 6 Lac Applications

2.      Banaras Hindu University: 3.94 Lac Applications

3.      Allahabad University: 2.31 Lac Applications

4.      Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar University: 1.49 Lac Applications

5.      Jamia Millia Islamia University: 1.21 Lac Applications

6.      Jawaharlal Nehru University: 0.57 Lac Applications

The Tamil Nadu assembly has also adopted a resolution against CUET to which Dharmendra Pradhan (Union Education Minister) wrote to the state clarifying that there is no case for rights infringement of states and UTs through the test.

The geographic spread of applications from across the country is expected to be high for the central test. There are also plans to conduct the test twice from next year which would increase adoption as well as diversity. The government has exempted 8 central universities from conducting the test due to “operational difficulties”

Competing head on with JEE (~9 lac aspirants) and NEET (~15 lac aspirants), CUET may become one of the largest exams in the coming years
