When discussing the advantages of CUET, Kumar stated that it will give equal opportunity to students from all boards, particularly those from the northeast and rural areas. Because candidates would only have to take one exam, the CUET is projected to lessen the cost burden on parents and students.
If state institutions, private universities, and deemed universities wish to, they can utilise CUET scores for undergraduate and postgraduate admissions, according to Kumar. Delhi University and a few other universities have already said that they would exclusively accept students to undergraduate programmes based on the CUET. The NTA website, https://nta.ac.in, has a full structure of CUET UG.
