The recent CUET-UG 2025 policy change limiting students to only five subjects, including the General Test (GT), is unfair and harmful to students’ futures. This forces students to drop an essential subject that could be critical for their college admission.

Why This Matters:

 • Commerce students must take Mathematics and English for eligibility in many universities. But with only four domain subject slots, this leaves just two extra choices, making it impossible to keep options open for multiple courses.
 • Previously, students could attempt extra subjects, and their best scores were considered. This policy change takes away that flexibility, reducing students’ chances of getting into top universities.
 • The restriction is causing stress and anxiety among students, forcing them to make tough decisions that could impact their careers.

This new restriction is particularly unfair because different universities have varying subject requirements for the same course. Many students need to take both Maths and English to remain eligible for multiple programs, leaving them with only two more domain subject choices.

This severely limits flexibility, especially for Commerce students, who often require a mix of subjects like Maths, Accountancy, Economics, and Business Studies to maximize their options. Previously, students could take an additional subject to improve their eligibility, but now, they are forced to drop a crucial subject, reducing their chances of getting into their preferred colleges.

This sudden change adds unnecessary pressure and uncertainty to an already competitive admission process.

We urge NTA, the Ministry of Education, and UGC to allow students to choose at least six subjects so they can apply to a wider range of courses and have a fair chance at securing admission into top colleges.
