The Common University Entrance Test for Postgraduate (CUET PG) is a standardized entrance exam conducted in India for admission to various postgraduate programs across participating central universities and other institutions. The exam is aimed at providing a fair and uniform admission process for candidates aspiring to pursue their higher studies in diverse fields, including arts, sciences, commerce, and law.

CUET PG has emerged as a significant assessment tool, especially after the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, which emphasized the need for a centralized examination system. This initiative not only streamlines the admission process but also ensures that students from different educational backgrounds have equal opportunities to secure a place in their desired programs

The eligibility criteria depend on the course and university to which the student wishes to gain admission. However, here are some general criteria for admission to PG programs:

• General candidates – A minimum of 50% marks in Graduation Degree.
• Scheduled Caste (SC) and Scheduled Tribe (ST) candidates – A minimum of 45% marks in Graduation or equivalent exam.

For appearing in the CUET (PG), there is no age limit for candidates. However, candidates will be required to meet the age criteria (if any) of the University(ies) in which they desire to take admission.

It is advised that candidates review the eligibility requirements of the respective university.
