Reports indicate that the Common University Entrance Test for Undergraduate admissions (CUET-UG) for 2027 may undergo changes intended to make the exam shorter and simpler for candidates. The proposed plan would reduce the number of subjects a student takes, with suggestions ranging from five to four over time. Outlets also report that individual paper durations may be cut to around 40 minutes.
Another proposed change is a shift to a one-day examination format. Under this approach, related subjects could be grouped and scheduled together on the same day, aiming to improve logistics and reduce the time burden on examinees. The outlets differ in how they describe the exact structure and timelines of these changes, but both frame them as streamlining measures for the 2027 CUET-UG cycle.
