CUET's debut edition kicked off today: Here's what happened on day 1

The debut edition of the Common University Entrance Test (CUET)-UG began on Friday at test centres in over 510 cities in India and abroad.

With 1.49 million registrations, the Common University Entrance Test (CUET) began on Friday in over 500 Indian cities and 10 abroad.

Surpassing JEE-Main's average registration of 900,000, CUET, a common gateway for undergraduate admissions in all central universities, is now the second biggest entrance exam in the country.

The aspirants queuing outside the examination centres were an anxious lot, doing last minute preparations, to get an admission into popular central universities, like Delhi University, where the class 12 result was a deciding factor.

University Grants Commission chairman Jagadesh Kumar in a tweet wished the students best ahead of the exam.
