According to sources, the university on Friday, in a letter to the regulatory body, said that it will only accept CUET scores for admissions to 20 UG, and PG courses – 15 undergraduate courses and 5 postgraduate courses.

However, the JMI Registrar Nazim Husain Al-Jafri has informed the regulatory body that JMI will take admission to all its courses through the CUET scores from the next academic year. The university has no plans to take up CUET PG for admissions from next year as well, he added.
