Yes, while CUET is mandatory for many Central Universities, some government colleges and universities offer admissions without it. These institutions may have their own entrance exams or may consider Class 12 scores for admission.

Hello there,

No, for most government colleges admission in India, especially for undergraduate courses like BA, BSc, BCom, admission is based on CUET (Common University Entrance Test) scores now.

CUET is mandatory for central universities and many state universities as per the latest guidelines. Without appearing in CUET, you usually cannot get admission through the regular merit-based process.

However, some exceptions might be:

• Certain state universities or colleges may have their own admission criteria (but this is rare now).
  
  

• Some professional courses (like engineering, medical) have separate entrance exams.
  
  

• If you are applying for direct admission or management quota in private colleges (not government), different rules apply.

But for general government college admissions, CUET exam is required.

I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries, feel free to share your questions with us, and we will be happy to assist you.

Thank you, and I wish you all the best in your bright future.

Hello aspirant,

Yes, the majority of Central Universities in India require the Common University Entrance Test (CUET) for undergraduate program admission.  The National Testing Agency (NTA) administers the Common University Entrance Test (CUET), a national entrance exam.  For admission to U.G. and P.G. programs at central universities, the University Grants Commission (UGC) has mandated CUET.

Hello,

Admission in government colleges without appearing for the CUET exam depends on the university and course. Many central universities use CUET as a mandatory entrance test for undergraduate admissions, especially for popular courses. However, some state universities and government colleges may offer admission based on merit (board exam marks) or direct admission for certain courses. In some cases, management or sports quotas and reserved categories have separate criteria. It’s important to check the specific college or university admission rules. Generally, for most central universities, CUET is compulsory, but exceptions exist at state or specialized colleges.
All the best.
