BHU to Consider 12th Marks, CUET Scores for Admissions
Imagine you're applying to college, but the entrance exam was really tough.
BHU, a big university, is changing its rules to help students.
They'll look at your high school scores too, not just the exam.
This is because many seats are empty.
The university doesn't want those seats to stay empty because that wastes resources.
So, if you did well in school but not so great on the exam, you still have a chance!
It helps students who worked hard in school and gives them a fair chance to study at a good university.
BHU will consider both CUET scores and 12th-grade marks for admissions.
The decision addresses over a thousand vacant seats in UG and PG courses.
UGC supports filling vacant seats to avoid wasting resources.
Future admissions will require CUET scores, but this year merit will be considered.
This policy benefits students with strong academic records.
