This year more than five lakh students have registered for the CUET PG course for more than 190 participating universities. Last year, only 1.25 lakh students registered for the CUET PG entrance exam as only 66 universities participated in the entrance test. Earlier students had to sit for different tests for different universities but now CUET will serve as a common entrance test for all the universities. This will be a lot easier for all the aspirants as they will not have to go to different locations to give examinations. One student can apply for multiple tests. Considering this, the total test taking students is nine lakh in numbers.
