Common University Entrance Test (CUET) would not be required for admission to undergraduate courses in colleges affiliated to the North Eastern Hill University (NEHU) in Meghalaya
“The exemption was given for this academic year, considering the geographical conditions, far-flung locations, limited digital connectivity and infrastructure,” Shri Dharmendra Pradhan said in a letter to Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma.
The affiliated colleges of NEHU will continue with the existing practice for admission instead of CUET,” the education minister said in the letter.
The Common University Entrance Test (CUET) has been introduced for admission to courses in all central universities, starting from this academic year.
The chief minister had met Pradhan on April 25, 2022, seeking the exemption for Meghalaya colleges.
