HYDERABAD: The National Testing Agency (NTA) has launched a new website for the 2025 Common University Test Undergraduate (CUET UG).
The website will host the application link through which students will be able to appear for the CUET UG 2025. The official link of CUET UG 2025 for related admission purposes is –cuet.nta.nic.in.
On the website, the NTA has released the numbers and email ids in case of issues while paying the amount for the application.
Additionally, the website has listed the central, state, private, deemed-to-be, and other government institutions that will participate in the CUET UG 2025.
Following recommendations by an expert panel, the CUET-UG will be a computer-based test (CBT), a shift from the earlier hybrid mode, and students will be allowed to appear for subjects irrespective of subjects studied in Class 12, said University Grants Commission (UGC) Chairperson M Jagadesh Kumar.
The UGC announced that the number of subjects will be reduced from 63 to 37 and admissions for programmes in dropped subjects will be based on the General Aptitude Test (GAT) scores.
Instead of separate tests for 33 languages, tests will be offered in 13 languages — Assamese, Bengali, English, Gujarati, Hindi, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Punjabi, Odia, Tamil, Telugu and Urdu.
The domain-specific subjects have been reduced from 29 to 23. The dropped domain-specific papers are Entrepreneurship, Teaching Aptitude, Fashion Studies, Tourism, Legal Studies and Engineering Graphics.
The test duration has also been made identical for all papers and standardised at 60 minutes, he said, adding that the number of questions has been made identical for all papers. The concept of optional questions in the exam has also been done away with and all questions will be compulsory now, Kumar added.
