Earlier, the UGC had issued some special guidelines for all the universities in the country. According to this, all the universities were directed not to complete the first-year admission process till the CBSE class 12 board results are out. Now, as CBSE has released the class 12 board results, various universities across the country will be able to complete the first-year admission process.
However, this year, Class 12 marks will not be of any importance for admission to about 100 universities, including all central universities across the country. From this year onwards, Common Entrance Test i.e. CUET exam is being taken for admission in all these respective institutes.
