According to sources, the University Grants Commission (UGC) is contemplating the introduction of a common counseling system for undergraduate admissions, akin to medical and engineering courses, based on CUET scores. UGC has established a committee comprising officials from multiple universities to deliberate on this proposal. However, the timeline for implementation remains uncertain, pending the committee’s evaluation and subsequent decision.
