Prayagraj: Following the relaxation extended by National Testing Agency for admission to undergraduate courses, authorities of Allahabad University have also made some relaxation in terms of the choice of domain subject, in which the candidate appeared for the Common University Entrance Test (CUET). Earlier, for admission to BA-LLB, students were required to take a test of legal knowledge in the domain, while for admission to BFA Fine Arts and BPA, the music subject was mandatory. But now AU has abolished these compulsory subjects, which will make it easier for students to take admission in these courses.
Admission to undergraduate courses in Allahabad University (AU) and its constituent colleges will be done through CUET, which may be held between May 8 and June 1. Five marks will be awarded for each correct answer, while one mark will be deducted for every wrong answer.
