As per latest reports, National Testing Agency will conduct a single common entrance test for all 54 Central Universities in India. This would be aimed at eliminating the need of class 12 based cut off marks, and multiple entrance exams.

A seven member committee has been set up to look into the formation of such an exam. To this end, a “high quality aptitude test” is proposed. The exact guidelines for the exam are yet to be either decided or made public.

There will be a single computer based test. It will be mandatory for admission to all 54 Central Universities in India from the academic session 2021-22.

At present, a large number of these universities accept students on the basis of class 12 marks. This has often been a point of controversy, given that cut offs have been touching sky high marks like 99%, 100% in the recent years. This renders students with even 90%-95% without a seat. Also, different boards have skewed percentage graphs – in some education boards students easily score 90%+, whereas in others, getting such scores is not feasible. With an entrance exam, students will get a chance to compete at a common level.

As per the National Education Policy, the exam should be offered two times in a year. Professor RP Tiwari, VC of Central University of Punjab is chairing the committee set up to decide upon the exam. More details will be provided soon.
