CUET UG is the single entrance for undergraduate admissions to over 250 central, state and private universities. For Medical & Allied Health aspirants, the relevant track is B.Sc Nursing and B.Sc Allied Health seats at central universities like BHU, AMU, Jamia Millia Islamia, Delhi University and IGNTU. Candidates pick PCB-subject combinations during registration. (Note: a separate CUET UG entry also exists in the Engineering section for non-medical disciplines - the underlying exam is the same; only the subject combination differs.)

❓ FAQs
Is CUET the same as NEET for nursing?
No. NEET is for nursing seats at AIIMS, JIPMER and a few other premier institutes. CUET is for nursing/allied seats at central universities like BHU, AMU and Delhi University.
Do I need to take the General Test?
Only if your target university or programme requires it. Check the participating-university list on the CUET portal.
