hi ,

The eligibility criteria for CUET (Common University Entrance Test) UG 2025 depend on the specific universities and courses you are applying to. CUET itself does not have a minimum percentage requirement , but individual universities may have their own eligibility criteria.

CAN AN OBC STUDENT APPLY FOR CUET ?

- yes

However, check the eligibility criteria of the specific university and course you are interested in. Some courses (like B.Sc. in Science subjects) may require 50% or higher marks in Class 12, even with OBC relaxation.

hope this helps

Hello!

Your qualifications for the Common University Entrance Test (CUET) exist due to your membership in the OBC category and your 12th class score of 45% marks. General category students need at least 50% marks but OBC students with other reserved categories meet eligibility with a minimum of 45% since the criteria provides a 5% relaxation for these groups.


Eligibility criteria differ according to the distinct universities and courses that students apply to enter. Each university implements its own criteria where they might establish elevated percentage selections for select programs. Therefore, I recommend that you:

1. Official university websites should be checked by applicants to verify specific admission standards for their chosen coursework.

2. Reach out directly to university admissions offices because they possess information which cannot be found online.

3. Students should thoroughly prepare for the CUET exams given that strong performance will boost their admission opportunities particularly when their 12th-grade grades remain below average.

I hope this information helps! Best of luck with your application process.
