Central Universities admit students in four main ways: CUET UG for undergraduate programmes, CUET PG for most postgraduate programmes, NCET for the 4-year Integrated Teacher Education Programme (ITEP), and the university’s own process for PhD (UGC NET or an entrance test, then an interview), diplomas, certificates and some professional courses. This page collects every admission notice the universities publish, so open forms, merit lists and counselling rounds sit in one list.

Frequently asked questions
Is CUET compulsory for admission to Central Universities?
For undergraduate programmes, yes: Central Universities admit UG students through CUET UG scores. Most PG programmes use CUET PG, though some universities run their own test for particular courses. PhD admission is through UGC NET/JRF or the university’s entrance test followed by an interview.
Where do I fill the admission form after CUET?
Each university opens its own admission portal after the CUET result, for example a Samarth admission portal or the University of Delhi’s CSAS. Taking CUET is not enough; you must register with every university you want.
Can I apply to more than one Central University?
Yes. You can apply to every university that accepts your CUET subjects. Each university publishes its own merit lists.
What is a spot round?
After the regular merit lists, universities fill the seats that are still vacant through spot rounds, often with a fresh registration and a short window. Spot round notices appear on this page as soon as they are published.
