NTA CUET Application Form 2023

Summary: 

Like any other application form, CUET UG application forms must be filled with the utmost attention. Do you know why? Even if you and your friends decide to write the CUET exam but wish to pursue different courses in different colleges. The CUET application filling process can be different for you and your friends. That is why paying attention is extremely important, and not blindly following others! 

Several students had incorrectly filled out the application this year, and the NTA had to reopen the correction window multiple times at the student's request. 

You can avoid making such errors by following this article that clears all your doubts about filling out the CUET application form.

The National Testing Agency (NTA) will open the online registration process for the Common Universities Entrance Test (CUET UG), which will be the sole criterion for admission to various undergraduate (UG) programs at 90 universities across the country. We can expect the number of participating universities to increase in the upcoming years. 

Since the CUET exam is expected to happen twice next year (this news is yet to be finalized!), we can expect the registrations to open twice, probably 4-5 months before the CUET 2023 exams are conducted.

Last year since the exam was conducted for the first time, students faced a lot of confusion while filling out their CUET application forms. You have to qualify the eligibility and correctly choose the right language, domain subjects, and general test, which are different for each course in each university. This led to students filling out their applications incorrectly. 

And on the demand of the aspirants, NTA reopened the correction window several times. To avoid this, those interested in taking CUET 2023 must read this article and follow what's written religiously. Also, make sure you fill out the CUET 2023 Application on or before the due date. 

The following are some of the common mistakes to avoid while filling out the CUET 2023 application process:

• Filling the name incorrectly: Make sure to fill in your name and your parent's name as per your class 10 or equivalent certificate.
• Provide a functional e-mail address and mobile number, as further communication regarding the exam will be done only through the registered mobile number and mail ID.
• Mention the correct category, mainly if you belong to SC, ST, or PWD category. You can claim the benefit of reservation by filling in the right category you belong to.
