Additionally, data indicates that more female students have gained undergraduate admissions in Delhi University (DU) than their male counterparts each year since the implementation of the Common University Entrance Test (CUET) in 2022. For the academic years 2022–23, 2023–24, and 2024–25, DU admitted 34,010, 36,126, and 39,242 female students, respectively, in contrast to 30,662, 32,425, and 33,124 male students during the same periods.
As per the information provided by the Ministry of Education in Parliament, there has been a consistent rise in the number of girls participating in the CUET (UG) since its inception. In 2022–23, 4.29 lakh women took the test; this number increased to 5.13 lakh in 2023–24 and further to 5.94 lakh in 2024–25. This data was presented by the Minister of State for Education, Dr. Sukanta Majumdar, in response to an inquiry regarding whether CUET had resulted in a decline in girl student enrolment, particularly from remote regions.
The Ministry asserted that CUET was established under the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 to alleviate pressure on students and to create a unified platform for university admissions. CUET is now recognized not only by Central Universities such as DU but also by State, Deemed, and Private Universities, with the number of participating institutions increasing from 90 in the inaugural year to 240 in the most recent edition.
