Last week, the University Grants Commission (UGC) chairman announced that undergraduate admissions to all central universities will be done through the computerised CUET conducted by the National Testing Agency and that class XII marks will not carry any weightage for these admissions.
“For us, this is a very positive move. The competence of children in Delhi is not less than anyone else but somehow, many state boards tweak their students’ marks in the name of rescaling and it would become unfair. Now a child will be able to take admission somewhere or the other based on their competency,” he said.
