CUET UG Registration 2025: The National Testing Agency has launched a new website for the 2025 Common University Test Undergraduate (CUET). The website is for undergraduate admission purposes and will also 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. As of now, there is no post to display, but soon the notification for the CUET UG 2025 application will be out on the website.
On the website, the NTA has also released the numbers and email ids in case of issues while paying the amount for the application. This time, it seems that the transaction amount can be paid through State Bank of India, Canara Bank and HDFC Bank.
Additionally, the website has also listed the central, state, private, deemed-to-be, and other government institutions that will participate in the CUET UG 2025. Students are requested to check whether the University they are eyeing will accept the CUET scores for admissions.
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 also 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 for only 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.
In 2024, the exam was held in both online and pen-and-paper modes in multiple shifts from May 15-31, but the announcement of results, originally scheduled for June 30, was delayed.
Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University (GGSIPU) has started the admission process for various undergraduate, postgraduate, and PhD programmes from February 1. The University’s application form is for the academic session 2025-26 which has over 40,000 seats in 106 affiliated colleges and 18 university schools.
