Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): The first encounter of Covid batch with Central Board of Secondary Education exams has come to an end. The students are now preparing for undergraduate entrance examinations like Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Mains, the National Eligibility Cum Entrance Test (NEET) and the Common University Entrance Test (CUET), which is new to students. Free Press talked to aspirant and educator to know what is at stake. Excerpts
No coaching for CUET in the city
Student Manikant Mishra said, "It’s very challenging to follow new patterns while you are new to the system of higher education. The very first thing that is making the process of preparation very difficult is the variation in syllabus, which is neither specified by National Testing Agency nor provided in general for CUET aspirants.”
He added, “It is important for us to have proper guidance, which are by far not available for students like us who aren’t in national capital. There are no coaching centres for CUET in city.”
