One entrance: UGC plan to merge NEET, JEE into CUET

UGC chairperson M Jagadesh Kumar told TOI that as per the proposal, instead of appearing for the four subjects — mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology — in three entrance exams, students can take the exam once and be eligible for and explore different fields of study. The higher education regulator is working out a committee to deliberate with different stakeholders to reach a consensus.
