Cotton University Entrance Exam
Cotton University offers admissions to various courses based on different criteria. For undergraduate (UG) programs, there is no entrance exam required. Admissions are done based on marks obtained in Class 12 (Higher Secondary). The CUET-UG is not applicable from 2025 onwards. For postgraduate (PG) programs, students who have graduated from other universities (outside Cotton University) must appear for the Cotton Post Graduate Entrance Examination (CPGEE). This entrance test consists of 50 multiple-choice questions, each carrying 4 marks, with 1 mark deducted for each wrong answer.
The duration of the exam is 1 hour 30 minutes, and candidates must score at least 50 out of 100 marks (for general category) to qualify. For Ph.D. admissions, candidates can either qualify through UGC NET / CSIR NET or appear for Cotton University’s own PhD entrance exam. Those who clear the written test will be called for a viva voce (oral interview) before final selection.
