The NTA conducts the Common University Entrance Test (CUET) for admission to UG programs in central universities across India. NTA has announced the CUET 2025 Exam Dates. CUET is a computer-based test that will held from May 15 to May 31, 2025. Students will be given multiple slot choices in order to undertake the examination. If you're looking to pursue a B-Tech program through CUET in 2025, here's what you should keep in mind:
To get admission to BTech through CUET, follow these steps:
Choosing CUET over JEE Main comes with two main advantages:
More Course Options: CUET allows admission to various courses, not just BTech. If you pick Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics (PCM) in CUET, you can also apply for BSc, BCA, BSc IT, and BCom courses in different Central and State Universities. That gives you more choices for your education.
Easier Syllabus: The syllabus of CUET 2025 only covers class 12 topics, making it simpler than JEE Main. In JEE Main, you need to study topics from both classes 11 and 12. So, if you choose CUET, you won't have to study as many topics compared to JEE Main, making it a bit easier for you.
It is important to check the eligibility criteria for BTech admission via CUET. Students must meet the following criteria for admission to BTech program:
It is advised to keep an eye out for the registration dates announced by NTA. Registration is usually done online through the official website of NTA or the respective central universities. Only eligible candidates can proceed with the registration step. CUET 2025 registrations will begin by the end of February. The number of subject choices will be reduced from 10 to 6 for the smooth conduct of the exam and evaluation.
It is necessary to familiarize yourself with the syllabus and exam pattern for CUET and take the current updates. The syllabus usually covers topics from Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, and sometimes, Aptitude and English. This will help to start your preparation well in advance. You utilize study materials, practice papers, and mock tests to enhance your preparation.
