What to Do After CUET UG 2025 Results are Out
Since the CUET UG 2025 results were declared on July 4, 2025, here are your next important steps:
- Get Your Scorecard: Download your CUET UG 2025 scorecard from the official NTA website (cuet.nta.nic.in). You’ll need your application number and date of birth.
- Research Universities: Go through the list of CUET universities here and check their official websites. Look for the courses you want and their specific admission rules for CUET 2025.
- Check Your Eligibility & Cut-offs: Make sure you meet all the requirements for your chosen courses. Compare your CUET score with the expected “cut-off” marks for different courses in different universities. For instance, to get into a very popular course at Delhi University, you might need a score of 750 or more out of 800. But for a good course in a CUET state university or CUET private university, the score needed might be lower.
- Fill University Application Forms: Each university will have its own online application form. Fill it out carefully with your details and upload your CUET scorecard and other required documents (like your Class 12 marksheet, caste certificate if needed, etc.).
- Join the Counselling Process: Universities will announce their counselling schedule. This is where you finalize your college and course choices. You might need to attend online sessions, fill in your preferred colleges, and then a seat will be offered to you.
- Pay Fees and Confirm: Once you are offered a seat, pay the admission fees within the given time to confirm your spot.
