Subject: CUET Orientation Program for School Principals and Counselors.
Dear Sir/Ma’am,
The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 underscores the importance of guidance and counseling in higher education, emphasizing students’ overall well-being and career development. It advocates for the integration of career counseling services within the education system to empower students with informed career choices and essential professional skills through a holistic and multidisciplinary approach.
In alignment with NEP 2020 recommendations, the Board has undertaken various initiatives to enhance career counseling mechanisms in schools and provide guidance on higher education opportunities.
In the recent years, the University Grants Commission (UGC) introduced the Common University Entrance Test (CUET) to standardize undergraduate (UG) and postgraduate (PG) admission processes across participating universities in India. With CUET being a crucial component of university admissions, it is essential to equip school Principals and Counselors with the necessary knowledge and skills to effectively guide students.
To this end, the Board is organizing a CUET Orientation Program for Principals and Counselors of affiliated schools. This session aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of CUET, its structure, and its implications for undergraduate admissions, enabling educators to guide students more effectively.
