Students who have not appeared for CUET-PG can register for AUCET through the official website. AUCET is conducted in multiple phases (Phase I, II, and III) between May and July, giving students multiple opportunities to appear. Additionally, merit-based direct admission may also be considered in some cases.

Hostel charges, if opted for, range from approximately Rs. 65,000 to Rs. 85,000 per year and are not included in the tuition fee. The Apex Easy Pay scheme allows students to pay the fee in 2 equal instalments per year.

Ans. CUET-PG is a national-level entrance test conducted by NTA (National Testing Agency) and is accepted by hundreds of central and private universities across India. AUCET is Apex University's own entrance test, conducted in multiple phases between May and July. For students specifically targeting Apex University, appearing for AUCET is more practical as it is conducted closer to the admission season and results are available quickly. However, appearing for CUET-PG is advantageous because a good CUET-PG score can also fetch you a scholarship of up to 50% at Apex University (for 90th percentile and above), and it keeps your options open for other universities as well. Ideally, students should appear for both.
