Shillong, March 6: United Democratic Party (UDP) general secretary Jemino Mawthoh today urged the state government to seek the Prime Minister’s intervention for the extension of the exemption of the CUET-UG for one more academic year (2023-2024).

“Hence, I would like to request the Chief Minister to implore the Prime Minister to kindly extend the Exemption of the CUET-UG for one more academic year (2023-2024),” Mawthoh said in a statement here.

He said the CUET-UG (Common University Entrance Test for Undergraduates) has been implemented as an Admission test affiliated with colleges of central universities since 2022.

Meghalaya and other NE States were exempted from the purview of The CUET-UG last year. For admission in this academic year (2023-24), CUET-UG will be implemented by the affiliating university (NEHU) for all its colleges.

The students of Meghalaya (especially) students from the rural areas are either unaware of the exams or find it extremely difficult to register and prepare for the CUET-UG, he said.

The last date for CUET UG is March 12, 2023.
