While private school students are dropping out to enroll in crash courses for CUET, those who cannot afford these coaching classes feel they are at a disadvantage.

New Delhi: Alarm for Class 12 board exams, that lived rent-free in the minds of students, has now been replaced by the rush to enroll in expensive crash courses to prepare for the Common Universities Entrance Exams (CUET).

Introduced in 2021, CUET is a single-window entrance exam for admission to undergraduate programmes offered in any of the 45 University Grants Commission-funded central universities across the country.

Amitendra Kumar, the product head of CUET at Career Launcher, says the chain of nationwide coaching institutions gets at least 200 calls every day which are inquiries about CUET courses. A “few thousand” students have already enrolled in the crash courses which cost anywhere between Rs 35,000 to Rs 70,000, he adds.

“I am getting requests from parents to withdraw their wards from the school. They say since Class 12 marks will now only hold 40 per cent weightage, they want to enroll their students in open schools and have them focus on CUET coaching instead,” said Sudha Acharya, chairperson of the National Progressive School Conference (NPSC), an association of 122 Delhi schools.

Government school students, on the other hand, are worried that inability to afford CUET crash courses may affect their chances of getting admission into a good central university for their undergraduate course.
