CUET to Eliminate Normalisation of Scores Process? 

Normalisation of scores for the Common University Entrance Test (CUET)-UG is likely to be done away with this year with the National Testing Agency (NTA) planning a rejig of the crucial exam for its third edition, according to top officials, PTI reported.

CUET in Hybrid Mode?

The exam, which is spread over a month, is likely to be conducted in a shorter duration as the agency is contemplating a hybrid mode, including OMR sheets and a computer-based test. The move will also ensure that most of the students get a chance to take the exam in a city of their choice. “The NTA is working on the possibility of conducting papers with a large registration in the OMR mode. This will help us choose a large number of schools as test centres. This will ensure that the students will get a centre within their town or city and do not have to travel to faraway places,” University Grants Commission (UGC) Chairman Mamidala Jagadesh Kumar told PTI.

Students will be permitted to write a maximum of six papers

Another feature that is part of the CUET-UG’s rejig plan is restricting students to appear for a maximum of six papers. “This year, instead of attempting 10 papers, students will be permitted to write a maximum of six papers. The rationale behind this decision is that only a tiny percentage of students opted for 10 papers in last year’s test. However, the scheduling of the papers becomes very complex, leading to conducting the test over several days. “Since students can write six papers in different combinations, such as four domain papers, one language paper, one general test paper or three domain papers, two language papers and one general test paper, the CUET-UG can be scheduled over fewer days, which is good for the students,” Kumar said.

CUET Exam Date

This year, the CUET entrance exam will be conducted between May 15 to May 31, 2024. For further clarification related to the examination dates and other instructions, the Candidates are advised to visit the official website of NTA www.nta.ac.in for the latest updates.
