I want to know about the cet exam form..
Hi Sinoj, Thanks for asking. The first CET exam will be conducted from September 2021 so the CET application form may be available to submit 1 or 2 months before the exam. Right now there is no official information even the official website is also under construction. We will update as soon as we get any official information related to the Online application process.
Hi Sir,
Please help to update on below two queries
1) What is expected month of starting the nra cet
2) What is the age criteria as some of us are now in 29 age so can we wait for this or drop our studies
Hi Sumit,
Thanks for asking,
We are just sharing useful information as soon as we get it from trusted and official sources. As of now, there is just an announcement of the CET exam and no official date and other information such as eligibility criteria, syllabus, age limit, etc are announced by the government. There is no official website launched where candidates will submit the online applications for the NRA CET exam. Some sources said that cet will be conducted from March 2022. We will have to wait until the government launches the official web portal.
Thank You
