The Education Ministry has stated that the CUET-UG is not based on the CBSE syllabus

Description

According to the Ministry of Education, the Common University Entrance Test (CUET)-UG is not based on CBSE syllabus but on general understanding of different class 12 subjects.

The test evaluates students from various boards on an equal level, according to Union Minister of State for Education Subhas Sarkar in a written reply in Rajya Sabha.

He said, "CUET is being conducted for admission in central universities from the academic year 2022-23 to reduce the burden on students, universities and the entire education system."

He further said, "The syllabus is based on general understanding of subject at class 12 level and therefore the test examines the students of different boards at equal footing. CUET is not based on CBSE syllabus."

The minister also denied that there was a proposal to abolish any school boards and recognize only one from which students might take class 12 examinations before appearing in the CUET.

In terms of student numbers, the CUET-UG is the country's second-largest admission exam. In the inaugural edition, 12.5 lakh students registered for the exam, with 9.9 lakh submitting applications. Over 11.11 lakh students appeared for the second edition of the entrance exam, which was held in nine phases from May 21 to July 5.
