The Common University Entrance Test (CUET) for postgraduate programs in Indian universities has garnered record-breaking registrations, with preparations finalized for the upcoming exam. Notably, female registrations surpass male registrations, echoing a trend from previous years. Over 179 universities nationwide have pledged merit-based seats for CUET qualifiers. While some institutions like Jamia Millia Islamia are deliberating CUET's full-scale adoption, the exam heralds a transformative shift towards inclusivity and academic excellence in higher education admissions.
