Common University Entrance Test (Postgraduate)
Overview
CUET PG is the common entrance test for admission to postgraduate programmes at central, state, private and deemed universities that have adopted it. It is conducted by the National Testing Agency as a computer-based test, and for a participating department it replaces the entrance examination that department used to set for itself — a candidate sits one test and applies to several universities on the strength of it, rather than travelling to each in turn.
