CUET UG 2024: 5 common mistakes to avoid while filling CUET application form

CUET UG 2024: The CUET UG 2024 exam will be held in May. The application window will likely open soon.
Filling the registration form accurately for the Common University Entrance Test Undergraduate (CUET UG) is a crucial step toward pursuing higher education. Avoiding common mistakes in the registration process is vital as this exam is the gateway for prestigious universities across India including the University of Delhi, Jawaharlal Nehru University, Jamia Milla Islamia, Banaras Hindu University and Aligarh Muslim University.
To ensure a smooth and error-free application, here are five prevalent mistakes aspirants should avoid when filling out the registration forms for CUET 2024
Incorrect Personal Information: One of the most recurring errors students make is filling in inaccurate personal details in the CUET application form. This includes misspelling names, wrong dates of birth, or providing the wrong address or contact information. Such errors can lead to discrepancies in documentation, communication issues, or even disqualification from the exam. So, always double-check all of your inputs before pressing the submit button.
Incomplete Documentation: Another frequent mistake that candidates make is uploading incorrect documents like ID proof, academic certificates, and recent photographs to the registration portal. Moreover, candidates should thoroughly understand the eligibility criteria for the desired courses and universities before applying. Therefore, it is essential to carefully follow the instructions mentioned on the NTA portal regarding document submission because failure to provide these documents in the specified format might lead to the rejection of your application.
Lack of Clarity in Course Selection or College Preferences: Once you have submitted your documents, the form will prompt you to specify the university and programme. Here, you might encounter difficulties without a clear understanding of your professional goals. So, identify your preferred academic stream that aligns with your future career path and shortlist the colleges that offer it. Also, it is advisable to include as many courses and colleges according to your priority, however, additional charges may apply for extra courses.
Waiting for Last Minute to Fill the Form: Missing application deadlines is a pressing mistake in CUET registration, as late submissions are never entertained. Candidates must be aware of these deadlines and plan their application process accordingly. It is also advisable to start the registration process well in advance as there’s a greater chance of encountering website-related technical issues on the final day.
PRO TIP: CUET offers a application form correction window in case of any mistakes that you might have overlooked. During the correction of CUET application, however, certain details are not allowed to be modified, such as the applicant’s name, parents’ name, date of birth, and contact information but particular details like examination centres, course details, educational qualifications, and uploaded documents are typically editable. So, make sure to catch this window of opportunity to double-check (even triple-check) your application form to be utterly confident.
In conclusion, by avoiding these frequent mistakes or blunders, candidates can streamline their application process and increase their chances of securing admission to their desired universities and courses through CUET. Always be vigilant!
