Are you a CUET aspirant and want to prepare for the entrance? So before jumping
straight into the advantages of qualifying for this exam, let’s understand the exam and
why it is important for students. CUET (Common University Entrance Test), which the
National Testing Agency regulates, is a common entrance exam to get admission to 45
central universities and more than 100 universities all over India. Till 2021 every
university was doing its own entrance exam. There are no standard procedures and
criteria to get admission. The government of India started this exam to avoid chaos,
which is a replacement form for NTA and CUCET.
Importance of the exam
The common university entrance exam is a computer-based entrance exam to test the
Candidates’; problem-solving capacity. Before 2022 state universities and the central
university had their own entrance exam for PG and UG admission. The central
government takes this decision to unify this selection process; by qualifying for this one
entrance exam, you can enter any university as per the cut-off of the respective
university.
Benefits of qualifying for the exam
1. Could focus on critical thinking
Before this entrance exam was introduced, there were limited syllabus for every
subject in the schools in which many students could not perform overall good if
they had a major interest in one subject. After this entrance is introduced, the
student can choose their interest in topics and give the entrance. This exam is a
combination of subject ability and aptitude tests, which allows the student to
explore the topics they are interested in. They could think in a different way and
could have a different perspective on their own problem-solving skills.
2. More equitable admission process
Through this unified admission process, every student has the same opportunity
to showcase their talent and academic knowledge. Till 2022 almost every
admission was purely based on the 12th or +2 marks. As per these criteria, many
talented students who have a little less marks cannot get admission to any good
university, and those students get the marks by memorizing they easily get
admission. However, they cannot compete with other talented students. Through
this admission process, everyone has a fair chance to get admission to their
dream university, and they can also compete with other state students.
3. Objective grading system
This entrance exam is purely based on the objective question exam, which allows
the students to develop their subjective analysis by analysing the question
subjectively, as this is an objective test that removes the grade factor of any
student. Also, these have different sections for the exam so that you can know the
academic inclination and strengths of their respective subjects.
4. The cut-off list
The main reason for this exam is to give the student an even platform to get
admission. Having the same cut-off for all students is the first step to that motive.
In CUET, they take the combined percentage of 12th and entrance, which will be
the percentage of the candidate and give you the fair cut-off for admission. So by
this, the talented studio students don’t have to worry about selection politics and
can focus on studying.
5. More efficient admission process
Now, this exam mode is applied in all the central universities and over 100
universities. This means there will be one common entrance conducted by the
government and the same admission process in every university. They will
publish one CUET cut-off mark, and the students will select according to the marks.
Back then, the different universities had their separate entrance and different
cut-off marks selection process; some of them do not take the entrance exam;
they directly get admission according to the 12th mark of the students. So after
this standardization process, every student can get admission to any top and
central university. So now students do not have to think about the selection
process and can easily concentrate on studying. They don’t have to worry about
other complicated procedures.
By qualifying for this one entrance exam, you can take admitted to any university of
your choice. While back then, there was no such thing as a common entrance, some
universities are taking admission on the basis of cut-off while some have their own
entrance exam, which creates a gap between the election process to give students a
common platform. In the UG admission process, CUET is a revolutionary step from the
central government, which is purely focused on giving chances and admission to real
scholars and talented students.
