From this year onwards, admissions to Delhi University, the public central university located in the national capital, will be done via CUCET and the committee is called the NTA (National Testing Agency) Coordination Committee. It was the NTA who has been tasked with the responsibility of conducting the CUCET for undergraduate and postgraduate courses.
For a majority of UG courses, the admissions were conducted on the basis of cut-off marks alone until last year. When it comes to PG courses, entrance examinations were conducted.
