The Common University Entrance Test 2023, or CUET 2023, is drawing near. Established in 2022 by the Ministry of Education, the National Testing Agency conducts the CUET. The agency was set up by the Government of India in order to conduct transparent, efficient and standardised tests. Along the same lines, the CUET, the computer-based online test, provides a common platform and an equal opportunity for students from across India, especially from rural and remote areas,  for a fair chance of admission across all central universities. Students can get access to the admission processes of several universities through this single examination system.
