SHILLONG, May 3: Chief Minister, Conrad K Sangma on Tuesday said students seeking admission to the undergraduate courses offered by private colleges or colleges funded by the state government will not require to appear for the CUET.
CUET expands to Central Universities Entrance Test.
“This exemption will continue and there is no timeline to it. The colleges which have nothing to do with the admission in NEHU will not require appearing for the examination even in the years to come,” Sangma told reporters.
He said he had on Monday informed Union Education Minister, Dharmendra Pradhan that the CUET is being made compulsory for all colleges affiliated with the central university.
He said Pradhan agreed with the argument that students seeking admission in the UG courses should provide their choice of a private college or any college funded by the state government for the CUET.
Citing an example, the chief minister said students studying in colleges situated 200 km away from NEHU will never apply or have any intention to pursue their studies at NEHU.
He said these students may prefer to remain in their respective districts or areas.
“Why then should those students appear for this central examination? It means that 90% of the colleges in the state will not need to appear for the common entrance examination,” Sangma said.
He clarified students seeking the UG courses that are part and parcel of the academic set-up of NEHU will require to appear in the common entrance test.
According to him, students who are planning to pursue their studies in the central universities or in the colleges run on two campuses of NEHU in Shillong and Tura like the Law College or Agriculture College would need to appear in the CUET examination.
