Nevertheless, it remains uncertain whether the forthcoming admission season will witness the implementation of a unified CUET counseling process for these five universities. In 2022, CUET took over the admission policies and tests of individual central universities. While the National Testing Agency administers the centralized exam and announces the CUET results, there is no provision for a common merit list. Consequently, the counseling process is managed independently by each university, which also establishes the fundamental eligibility criteria. This two-tier system has resulted in delayed college admissions and numerous unoccupied seats across central universities in the past two years.

The NTA CUET Counselling for JNU and BHU is in the pilot phase. With the introduction of common counselling, the participating universities will now adhere to a common merit list based on CUET scores, similar to the JEE Main for engineering and NEET UG for medicine.
An official informed Careers360 that discussions have been ongoing for the past three months, with a committee formed by the UGC for this purpose. Five universities have been selected as samples, including Mizoram University, University of Hyderabad, JNU, Kashmir University, and BHU.
The official expressed uncertainty regarding the implementation and feasibility of the process, citing the diverse nature of each university and their individual processes. The integration of these processes is expected to be challenging and will require long-term planning.
When contacted by Careers360, UGC chairman M Jagadesh Kumar declined to provide a comment.
As per data shared by Kumar previously, a total of 46 central universities, 32 state universities, 20 deemed-to-be universities, 98 private universities, and six government institutions are part of CUET UG 2024 and will admit students based on CUET UG scores.
Following delays in CUET admissions in 2023, the University of Allahabad had initially sought to revert to its own admission entrance test. However, the university later confirmed that they were not granted permission by the education ministry to conduct their test and had to continue with CUET UG.

CUET 2024 modifications
The UGC chairman previously declared that the examination for subjects with the highest number of registrations will be conducted offline using OMR sheets. This alteration will enable applicants from rural areas to take their CUET exams closer to their homes.
As per Kumar, exams for subjects with high registration will take place on a single day, in one shift across the entire country. Additionally, numerous schools, colleges, and educational institutions will serve as CUET examination centers, benefiting students by reducing the distance they need to travel for their examinations.
The online registration for CUET 2024 is currently open at cuetug.ntaonline.in. The last date for registration has been extended until March 31.
The CUET 2024 examination dates are scheduled from May 15 to 31.
This year, candidates will have a limited selection of six subjects, down from ten. Among these six subjects, there will be three main subjects, two languages, and one general paper.
The NTA has introduced two new subjects, fashion studies and tourism, for CUET UG 2024. Consequently, the exam will now be conducted for a total of 63 subjects, including 33 languages, 29 domain-specific subjects, and one general test.
