The national testing agency (NTA) will conduct a common admission test for 15 of the central universities of the country from the 2020-21 academic session. These will include universities of Assam, Andhra Pradesh, Kerala, Jammu, Jharkhand, Gujarat, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka among others.
The human resource development ministry is likely to give a nod to the proposal on Thursday. NTA is in talks with other central universities as well to join the common test. This is the first time NTA has been entrusted with the task of conducting the Central University common entrance test (CUCET) which till last year was conducted by the University of Rajasthan. “There is addition to the list of the universities for the academic session 2020-21 making it 15. And more are likely to join as NTA is in touch with other new universities like the Central University of Manipur,” said a source in MHRD.
The common entrance test for the 15 central universities for 2020-21 academic session will be conducted in May, 2020. The test would be conducted for around 50 undergraduate courses, over 170 post-graduate and over 100 MPhil and PhD programmes.
NTA conducted a computer-based entrance test for Delhi University and Jawaharlal Nehru University this year for a limited number of courses.
“NTA has the capacity and capability as the final aim is to make it a premium testing agency. It has already delivered glitch-free, transparent and secure testing for JEE (Main), NEET, UGC-NET, DU and JNU entrance tests,” said a senior HRD official.
These will include universities of Assam, Andhra Pradesh, Kerala, Jammu, Jharkhand, Gujarat, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka among others
