Jagadesh Kumar stated that the expert committee has already analyzed the test through various aspects which include number of papers, duration of the test, syllabus, and operational logistics.
UGC will soon release a draft proposal containing all the details of the revised guidelines for the conduction of CUET UG, PG exam 2025.

CUET UG was changed a bit in 2024. These changes include format changes, the total number of subjects, and also the difficulty level of the exams. Subjects which had higher registrations were taken in OMR sheets and the difficulty level was moderate to help students to avoid stress during exams.
