CUET 2024 Counseling

The participating institutes will run their own counseling sessions for CUET 2024. After the results are announced, each institute will publish its merit list based on the eligible applicants.

There are typically three rounds of counseling, but this can change based on the availability of seats. Candidates must accept the admission offer by reporting to the institutes and having their documentation verified after the seat allocation results are made public. In a few programs, interview rounds will be held in place of counseling sessions. The application procedure for those programs will be covered separately in the CUET 2024 information brochure by NTA.
