Hello experts, I’m a 23-year-old student currently preparing for the CUET PG entrance exam. I have a strong interest in two different fields—English Literature and Mass Communication. Both align with my passion for storytelling and creative expression, but I’m struggling to decide. I’ve heard that CUET PG allows students to apply for multiple courses, but I’m not sure how it works in terms of application fee, exam schedules, or if it might affect my chances of admission. Can I apply for two courses simultaneously in CUET PG?

Ans: According to the Information Bulletin of CUET-PG-2025, an applicant can submit only one application form but can apply for up to Four Test Papers by paying additional application fees. Fees vary based on category and number of test papers. The National Testing Agency (NTA) schedules exams in separate sessions to avoid clashes. Independent evaluation ensures each test paper meets eligibility criteria. Exploring interests in storytelling and creative expression allows you for informed decision-making based on performance and preferences. All The BEST for Your Prosperous Future.

Hi, I’m a second year undergraduate student, and my friend told me about the CUET PG exam . Honestly, I’m still a bit confused about what exactly this exam is for. Is it just for admissions into central universities, or do private and state universities also accept CUET PG scores? I want to pursue my master’s degree, but I’m not sure if this is the right exam for me or if there are other options I should consider. Could you please explain the purpose of CUET PG and how it works?
Ans: Dear Student,

It's great that you're thinking about your postgraduate options early on in your undergraduate degree. The CUET PG exam is indeed a significant one for students in India, and it's good you're seeking clarity. Let me break it down for you:

What is CUET PG?

CUET PG stands for Common University Entrance Test (Postgraduate). It's a national-level entrance exam conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA) for admissions into various postgraduate programs. Think of it as a gateway to higher education after your bachelor's degree.

Who Accepts CUET PG Scores?

You're right to ask about the scope of this exam. Primarily, CUET PG scores are used for admission to Central Universities across India. However, its reach is expanding. Many State Universities and even some Private Universities have also started accepting CUET PG scores for their postgraduate programs. This means a wider range of options for you based on your performance in a single exam.

Is CUET PG Right for You?

Whether CUET PG is the "right" exam for you depends on where you want to study and what you want to study.

• If you're aiming for a Central University, CUET PG is essential.
• If you're considering State or Private Universities, check if they accept CUET PG scores. This information is usually available on the university's admission website or the CUET PG information bulletin.

Other Options to Consider:

While CUET PG is a major exam, there are other options depending on your chosen field:

• University-Specific Entrance Tests: Some universities, especially well-established ones, might conduct their own entrance tests in addition to or instead of CUET PG.
• National-Level Exams: For certain fields like management (CAT, XAT), engineering (GATE), or pharmacy (GPAT), there are specific national-level exams.

How CUET PG Works:

• Exam Format: CUET PG is a computer-based test (CBT) with multiple-choice questions (MCQs).
• Syllabus: The syllabus generally covers subjects you've studied in your undergraduate program.
• Scoring: You'll receive a score based on your performance, which you can then use to apply to participating universities.
• Counseling: Each university will have its own counseling process based on CUET PG scores.

My Advice:

1. Explore Your Interests: Decide on the specific master's program you want to pursue. This will help you narrow down your university options.
2. Research Universities: Make a list of universities offering your desired program and check their admission criteria, including whether they accept CUET PG scores.
3. Check CUET PG Eligibility: Ensure you meet the eligibility criteria for CUET PG, which usually involves having a bachelor's degree in a relevant field.
4. Prepare Strategically: If you decide to take CUET PG, start preparing early and focus on the syllabus relevant to your chosen program.

I understand the importance of making informed decisions about your education. I hope this explanation helps you understand CUET PG better.

Dear Sir, as my son Inter bord got 91% but in Jee mains 1st attempt got 50% and 2nd attempt got 70%, but he was not eligible for Advance, and he was wrote other college exams as (IIIT Hyd + VIT+TSEAPCET) in that VIT got results as 1.20 Lakh rank and he was eligible for Round of Category of 5th for VIT-AP & VIT-Bhopal, and expecting results for IIIT Hyd and also waiting for other Exams as (COMEDK + MIT + BITS), he was sincerely trying the efforts private college entrance exams, but the results which is not satisfy for him, and getting disappoint, but I was giving the motivation for other exams and do the hard work and focus on, BITS & IIT-Hyd also very tuff and more competitive, as i need to think for the negative side, if he could not get any cut of marks, what is the next option....? I request you pls give any other alternate suggestions for which is alternate engineering university for the course of (CSE AI & ML), my son interested in CSE course only
Ans: Hello Rakesh
First and foremost, I would like to commend your son for his earnest efforts in preparing for a range of engineering entrance examinations. His dedication is commendable, even if the outcomes so far haven't aligned with expectations. As you’ve mentioned, he has not yet been able to meet the required cutoff, which understandably may lead to feelings of disappointment or frustration.
However, the journey isn't over. Significant opportunities still lie ahead with BITSAT and IIIT-Hyderabad, both of which are known to be less about difficulty and more about testing strategic thinking and conceptual clarity. It appears that your son may be facing challenges in effectively managing the vast syllabus or might not yet have identified the right approach to tackle these competitive exams. Understanding how to study smartly for such tests often makes all the difference.
It’s important to maintain a positive outlook and avoid negative assumptions at this stage. You haven’t mentioned your financial circumstances, but if your son is determined to pursue fields like Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, or Machine Learning, and if merit-based options don’t materialize, admission through the management quota could be a viable alternative. This route is typically available in reputed private engineering colleges, though it comes with a higher financial commitment.
Before considering this option seriously, I would recommend waiting for the results of all the remaining entrance exams. At the same time, it would be wise to proactively visit a few reputed institutions to inquire about the availability of management quota seats, associated costs, and relevant terms and conditions. Many parents secure such seats early on, anticipating the challenges their child might face in clearing competitive cutoffs.
Stay optimistic, there are still several promising pathways ahead.
Follow me if you like the reply. Thanks
Radheshyam

can i get admission in NFSU through jee mains score only ? because i gone on NFSU admission portal link for B.Tech-M.Tech Integrated program in Computer Science and Engineering (Cyber Security) but they asking about NFAT exam
Ans: Hi,
I apologize for any confusion, but I want to clarify that when the government asked for our support of the ONE NATION ONE CARD system, we did not accept it. Similarly, everyone is required to open a savings account at a bank, and many of us expressed our discontent. However, we can see the positive changes happening in India. If we support the government, they will reciprocate by providing benefits to the citizens.

In terms of education, the government is attempting to implement a new education policy, which has proven to be quite difficult. The education system has changed significantly before and after the pandemic. Now, the government is working on new policies that align with those of developed countries.

Therefore, we cannot expect the ONE STUDENT ONE EXAM system from the government at this time, as it is not included in the current guidelines. Each council or organization has its own set of guidelines, and synchronizing them will take time. At this moment, it is simply not feasible.

The NFAT exam is different from the JEE. In the case of the JEE, they did not notify the aspirants that they are eligible to apply for NFSU, and similarly, NFSU did not mention that JEE rank holders could also apply. Therefore, if you want admission to NFSU, you need to register and appear for the NFTA.

In the near future, we can expect the ONE STUDENT ONE EXAM system from this BJP government for the benefit of younger generations. For the benefit of postgraduate aspirants (for all courses except a few professional ones), the NTA is organizing the PGCUET exam nationwide. In this exam, you can opt for up to four different courses based on your eligibility.

A similar exam pattern is needed for engineering and medical fields as well. As I mentioned, we can expect this change; however, we, as citizens, should offer moral support for the benefit of younger generations. Unfortunately, we often do not provide this support to the government. For example, in the NEET exam, many aspirants do not follow the guidelines even when appearing for the exams.

Hello sir I have taken a 1 year drop for neet 2025 from pw online . But now I am scoring only 300 in neet .Now i am very confused what to do should I take one more drop or chose any option. This time i want to join offline coaching and really want to work hard but afraid that the coaching centre after knowing my marks will give me their worst batch so what should i do ?
Ans: Hi Ritika,
You mentioned that you scored only 300 in NEET. While we can't make any judgments until the official results are published, I must say that a score of 300 is quite low.

If you're planning to reappear for NEET, that's a good decision! However, I understand you might be worried about the coaching classes placing you in a less suitable batch. I recommend attending for 2 or 3 days while attending the coaching just follow the below instructions.

Make a list of the subjects and chapters you find challenging. Discuss these areas with your coaching faculty and aim to ask at least 15-20 questions daily to clarify your doubts and enhance your understanding. Additionally, request tips and tricks for each chapter so that you can put in a lot of effort to reach your goal.

Alternatively, you can prepare 10 questions on your own and seek answers from your coaching faculty. If you maintain this practice throughout the course, you'll build your confidence, and the coaching staff may consider changing your group due to your proactive approach in asking questions.

Through NEET, you can also pursue other medical-related courses such as BAMS, BSMS, BHMS, BYMS, BNYS, and BDS.

If you don’t have confidence in yourself, you might consider dropping NEET and exploring other courses. However, I encourage you to take one chance and follow my suggestions.

Additionally, if you are not already practicing yoga and meditation, I recommend starting. These activities can help you concentrate better and reduce distractions while studying.

Best of luck!

Ans: Hi Ritika,
Good decision! Offline coaching is far better than online coaching because it allows you to focus on your studies more effectively.

You mentioned that you need to crack the exam, so here are some tips on how to do that:

First, identify which subjects and chapters you find challenging and make a list. Discuss these areas with your coaching faculty. Aim to ask at least 10 questions daily to clarify your doubts and enhance your understanding.

Alternatively, you can prepare 10 questions on your own and seek answers from your coaching faculty. If you maintain this practice throughout the course, you will build your confidence.
