Jamia Millia Islamia will allocate some UG and PG courses to CUET based on last year’s practice and conduct its own entrance tests for all other courses to ensure timely admissions.

Last week, Jamia Millia Islamia released its admission calendar, which includes 59 undergraduate courses such as BA (Hons), BSc, BCom (Hons), BFA, BTech, BVoc, and others. Out of these courses, admission to 20 will be through the Common University Entrance Test (CUET), and students are required to fill out both CUET and JMI forms for these courses.

Jamia Millia Islamia comprises 10 faculties, including architecture and ekistics, dentistry, education, engineering and technology, fine arts, humanities and languages, law, and others. The university has around 44 departments that offer undergraduate and postgraduate courses in various fields.

CUET: Last year, in 2022, Jamia Millia Islamia received a total of 1,44,134 applications through CUET, making it the seventh-highest central university in terms of the number of applications received.

Unfortunately, just 10 undergraduate courses were admitted last year at Jamia Millia Islamia using the CUET. The 10 classes included BA (Hons) Turkish Language and Literature, BA (Hons) Sanskrit, BA (Hons) French and Francophone Studies, BA (Hons) Spanish and Latin American Studies, BA (Hons) History, BA (Hons) Hindi, BA (Hons) Economics, BSc Biotechnology, BVoc (Solar Energy), and BSc (Hons) Physics.

The University Grants Commission (UGC) sent a reminder email to Jamia Millia Islamia, stating that all central universities must adopt the Common University Entrance Test (CUET) as the mandatory entrance test for admission to all undergraduate courses.
