The Common University Entrance Test for Postgraduate programmes (CUET PG) is a national-level entrance examination conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA) for admission to postgraduate courses offered by Central Universities and other participating institutions across India.

Introduced to create a uniform, transparent, and merit-based admission framework, CUET PG evaluates candidates’ subject-specific knowledge through a standardised computer-based test, thereby replacing multiple university-level entrance examinations. By providing a single common platform for postgraduate admissions, the examination seeks to enhance accessibility, ensure fairness in selection, and streamline the admission process for the academic session concerned.
