The revised version of the Central Universities Common Test (CUCET) is the Common University Entrance Test (CUET). It is an all-India test conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA) for the students to get admission to various undergraduate, Diploma, Certification and other courses in 45 reputed Central Universities of India. Momentum, the best coaching institute in Gorakhpur, advises the aspirants of NEET and JEE to also prepare for CUET as it opens career options for you other than medical or engineering respectively. In this blog, we briefly introduce you to the CUET exam and how a JEE/NEET aspirant prepares for CUET.
What is the CUET exam, and why is it important?
The fact that cut-offs for admission to several reputed central universities are extremely high, many students fail to get admitted to those universities, such as Delhi University for UG Courses. Research has shown that the evaluation practices used by the CBSE, ICSE, and WEST BENGAL Board are distinct from others.
Students from other boards secure lower marks and do not get the opportunity to apply to these universities. To solve this issue, the CUET exam has been introduced.
The primary objective of this exam is to establish a platform that offers equal opportunities to all students in India, regardless of their gender, religion, or marks on their class 12 board exam. If they pass the entrance exam, students from rural areas will also have the chance to apply to central universities.
Should an IIT-JEE or NEET aspirant prepare for CUET?
The CUET exam is the platform that enables you to get admission to undergraduate programmes at all the Central universities and affiliated colleges. So, if you are a science student and want to keep a BSc (in Physics, Chemistry, Math, or Biology) as a backup option for JEE/NEET, you must take it.
Moreover, it is also being claimed that in the coming years, IIT and NEET will merge with CUET. Hence, it is wise to prepare for CUET along with NEET or IIT-JEE.
Tips to prepare for CUET for IIT/NEET aspirants
If you are an IIT or NEET aspirant, you are at an advantage as the difficulty level of questions in CUET will range from easy to moderate compared to JEE and NEET. So, if you are preparing for IIT or NEET, you have covered a lot from the CUET syllabus. Preparing for CUET is not a tough task for IIT or NEET aspirants. However, to secure better marks in CUET, Momentum, the best coaching institute in Gorakhpur, suggests the following tips to prepare for the CUET exam.
- Be thorough with the syllabus of class 12 for biology, math, chemistry, and Physics (for whichever subjects you are applying in CUET).
- Use the class 12 coaching materials for JEE/NEET or reference books to practise some easy to moderate level MCQs for the CUET.
- Follow the CUET subject-wise advice.
- Work on your comprehension, grammar, and vocabulary skills if you must take the English Language Test (based on the requirements of the university, college, or course you are applying for).
- Do not make guesses for answers in the exam because, like JEE/NEET, CUET will have negative markings.
