I gave CUET PG exam for Life Sciences Code and later on when the registrations for Central universities started, I registered. So, I did register for Central University of Gujarat as well as Central University of Karnataka. And once the universities published their first merit lists, I got an email from both the universities that I had been shortlisted in the first merit list. So I chose CUG instead of CUK because of 2 reasons, one is that, Gandhinagar is far more safe and better for girls, than any other place right now in India. And other was that, the curriculum of CUG and faculty was really good, which I wanted to have. So, I filled the form, paid the fees for admission and later on for document verification I had to go to Campus offline, for the same.

The teachers are very professional and best when it comes to teaching chinese, but besides that the college in general is not a very happening place so you get bored easily. But if you just look at the teaching aspect, it is nice. The cutoff also is moderate so one can get in. And the teachers were always available when asked about a doubt in regards to admission and made us feel comfortable and removed all our doubts, even the seniors here are very friendly and that speaks a lot about the college too.

The course required a Bachelor's degree from any course (background in English wasn't a requirement). The required cut-off was 55% for the general category. We had to sit for a common entrance test called CUET. The whole process was relatively straightforward. After we gave the exams, in the next few weeks we got our scored and applied for our preferred universities. The admission process in the University was also simple. Merit lists were released and students were admitted on the basis of first come basis from the list, subsequent lists were released for the vacancy seats. Fees was to be paid online and the receipt was to be shown to the adminstrative department. As the whole process was not complicated in the nearest, I don't have any particular suggestions for improvement.

I got in through the CUCET examinations in 2020, and the admission process was easy and smooth, after getting my score I applied to the college admission portal, which considered all student's marks and scores and created respective merit lists according to the subject if one finds their names on the list they are reached by official email also calls from CUG and they guide on how to pay admission fees and one can easily get admission there, the mentor's teachers and office staffs are really cordial so one might not face much hazy admission process There is no direct application form, one has to go through the central university entrance examination test the process being very organised I do not think there need to be any such changes but if the university/ central ministry feels so they could

The college needs to start placement cell in bachelors. Hostels are very far away from campus and the college campus is very small and this should be changed. Teachers are very supportive but the students are very less as compared to other universities. There is no ground for sports activities.
Yes, central university of Gujarat had entrance exam for joining the college, exam name is cucet. Application fee was 550 for sc category students, This college was considering the reservations, this college only select the merit base listed students
I chose this college because it is a central university and also it is approachable. I have to give the CUG entrance exam but now it comes under CU-CET where one can choose CUG for German or Chinese language. It has also other languages like Hindi, English, and Gujrati. Teachers are helping and supporting.
The college is really good for the local students who are from the middle class and can't afford expensive private institutions. They provide good quality education and the campus life is also really good.
Regarding UG admissions at cug, the official admission brochure states: "From the Academic Year starting in will enroll students for courses of Undergraduate Diplomas that culminate in a Professional Diploma at the end of 3rd/4th year as per the course chosen.
