CUET Full Form: Your Ultimate Guide to CUET 2026
With nearly 14 lakh applications received for CUET in 2025, and it will continue to do so this year too, it has turned out to be the most popular entrance test in the country. The CUET full form is Common University Entrance Test, and much like its name, it is the premier entrance test for admission to 249 universities, including 45 prestigious central universities. This number is expected to rise even further for CUET 2026.
Update: The CUET 2025 result is out on July 4, 2025 and the Delhi University CUET cutoffs are out in rounds 1 and 2.
The CUET exam has been pioneered based on the mission – One India, One Entrance Exam – to unify all the disparate education boards, marking schemes, difficulty levels, and various entrance tests conducted by different universities. Instead of struggling to clear astronomic cutoffs for the best colleges, all students now get to compete on a common platform with uniform scoring. CUET has streamlined the admission process for students to secure seats in their preferred colleges.
The CUET 2026 dates will be released by the NTA, the National Testing Agency, the official exam conducting body. Doing well on the CUET enables students to access academic opportunities at India’s best institutions across a myriad of courses.
In this blog, we will explain everything about CUET: The full form of CUET exam, its importance, its pattern, and other details to get you started on CUET 2026.
What is the CUET full form?
The CUET exam’s full form is the Common University Entrance Test, which is itself a premier entrance test for undergraduate and postgraduate admissions to some of the most prestigious central universities, such as Delhi University, BHU, Allahabad University, and JNU. Instead of creating merit lists based entirely on 12th board results, participating universities release lists based on scores secured in CUET.
CUET was introduced with the aim of reducing the opportunity disparity between students from different parts of India who have studied under various education boards and academic structures. With uniformity across all testing parameters, students from across India can apply to several universities with a standard exam instead of writing multiple tests for each one.
The CUET is computer-based and conducted in multiple languages, testing students’ proficiency in academic subjects, languages, and logical reasoning. Let’s take a look at the CUET exam pattern.

Why is CUET Important?
The CUET full form is Common University Entrance Test. Introduced in its new form by the NTA, in partnership with the UGC, in 2020, CUET has quickly become the most preferred entrance exam for Indian students seeking admission to the top central and private universities.
CUET has helped overhaul the entire admissions process for UG and PG admission to central, state, and private universities. Here are some of the reasons why CUET is considered so crucial by academic experts:
- Reduced weightage of 12th board marks – Before the advent of CUET, 12th board marks reigned supreme. UG admissions across all top universities depended entirely on them, especially for non-STEM programs. This pushed the cutoffs to astronomic heights and created a divide between students from different regions. With CUET, each student can have the same opportunity to get admission to the best colleges.
- Streamlined admission process – Before CUET, students had to run around filling out forms, submitting documents, and fulfilling admission requirements for different colleges. Each college had a separate process, meaning students had to invest much time. CUET has streamlined the process with just one exam and one website for admissions to 249 universities and thousands of programs.
- Clarity of rank – While ranks and percentiles alone don’t hold much value beyond college admissions, they help students compare themselves to each other and better understand their standing. This also helps add more transparency to the admission process. Previously, the admission process was opaque, and students lacked clarity. With CUET, the marks and percentile are shown upfront, giving students visibility.
Conclusion
