CUET UG not based on CBSE syllabus: Ministry

Posted On: 04/08/2023      Updated On: 04/08/2023

The Common University Entrance Test (CUET)-UG is not based on the CBSE syllabus, the Ministry of Education informed Rajya Sabha on Wednesday. CUET examines students of different boards on “equal footing”, Union Minister of State for Education Subhas Sarkar said in a written reply in Rajya Sabha.

“CUET is being conducted for admission in central universities from the academic year 2022-23 to reduce the burden on students, universities and the entire education system. The syllabus is based on general understanding of subject at class 12 level and therefore the test examines the students of different boards at equal footing. CUET is not based on CBSE syllabus,” he said.

Moreover, Sarkar denied there was any proposal to scrap any school board and recognise only one from which students can take class 12 exams before appearing for the CUET.

The CUET-UG was made compulsory in 2022 for admission to various universities including Delhi University. Last year, 12.5 lakh students had registered for the exam while over 11.11 lakh candidates appeared for the second edition of the entrance exam.

 
The CUET result was released last month and the admission process has started in the universities.
