News<\/span><\/b>: The UGC has decided to conduct a Common University Entrance Test (CUET) for admission from 2022-23 in undergraduate programmes in all the Central Universities (CUs) funded by it.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Background<\/span><\/b>
\n<\/span><\/h5>\n

Madhuri R. Shah Committee<\/strong> (1984) recommended a national merit examination for the Central Universities.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The govt advocates for \u2018one nation, one standard<\/strong>\u2019 maxim in different sectors.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The National Education Policy (NEP) also advocates for a common entrance examination for undergraduate and graduate admissions and fellowships. It should be conducted by the National Testing Agency <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What are some challenges?<\/span><\/b><\/h5>\n

The test would be based on the NCERT syllabus, which is followed largely in CBSE schools. But a vast majority<\/strong> of students do not study in CBSE board but in State Boards<\/strong>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The policy does not include Class XII marks<\/strong> as one of the parameters for determining the merit.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The students, whose learning process was disrupted by COVID-19, may find it challenging<\/strong> to clear the test. The test is being introduced just ahead of an admission season.<\/span> \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The test might affect the interest of State domiciles of students<\/strong> to secure admission in a university in the North-Eastern State.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What way is forward?<\/span><\/b>
\n<\/span><\/h5>\n

In the instant case, the UGC has clarified the existing scheme of reservations in individual universities would not be disturbed<\/span><\/p>\n
