Eligibility

A bachelor's degree in any discipline is the general requirement; some universities ask for Economics or a related subject at the undergraduate level, or a minimum aggregate percentage. Eligibility criteria are set independently by each participating university — check the official CUET-PG information bulletin and your target university's admission notice for the exact requirement.
