According to the testing agency, English also has the highest number of candidates scoring 95percentile and above at 33,627, followed by general test 24,030, Chemistry, 12,179, Mathematics, 11,942 and Physics 11,329.
The union government had in March announced that it would conduct CUET-UG, in line with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, and made its score a mandatory yardstick for all central universities while keeping it optional for others.
At least 90 universities are participating in CUET-UG this year.
Now the students will start registering to the online portals of individual universities they have applied for.
The Universities will prepare their cut off lists using CUET-UG scores and conduct individual counseling.
