CUET lowers Delhi University's law student quality

New Delhi: Since 2022, Delhi University's Faculty of Law has admitted students through the Common University Entrance Test (CUET). This change has raised concerns about students' preparedness, as CUET focuses on general subjects rather than legal aptitude. Faculty members report a decline in the quality of students, affecting classroom discussions and academic performance. Many new students lack basic legal knowledge, which teachers attribute to CUET's broad subject coverage. Students are also expressing dissatisfaction. Over 6,000 students have been admitted through CUET, with some calling for the return of the previous entrance exam, which was deemed more suitable for law aspirants.
