Academic Thesis: Standardizing Post-Graduate Allied Medical Education via CUET (PG)
Abstract
The transition toward unified evaluation mechanisms in Indian higher education has restructured post-graduate admissions across non-clinical medical sciences, public health, and allied healthcare disciplines. The Central University Entrance Test for Post-Graduation (CUET PG), administered by the National Testing Agency (NTA), functions as a standardized assessment matrix. This dissertation-style overview examines the structural architecture, subject-code mapping, and merit-allotment framework governing post-graduate medical admissions via CUET (PG) for scholars at Rajput Mother Academy.
1. Pedagogical Scope & Specialization Pathways
CUET (PG) serves as the gatekeeping examination for post-graduate degree programs (M.Sc., M.P.T., M.P.H.) across participating Central, State, and Deemed Universities. Rather than clinical M.D./M.S. tracks (governed by NEET-PG), CUET (PG) regulates advanced scientific and diagnostic disciplines:
- Medical Basic Sciences: M.Sc. in Human Anatomy, Medical Physiology, Medical Biochemistry, and Pharmacology.
- Allied & Diagnostic Healthcare: M.Sc. in Medical Laboratory Technology (MLT), Radio-imaging Technology (MRIT), and Medical Physics .
- Interdisciplinary Life Sciences: M.Sc. in Molecular Medicine, Biotechnology, and Microbiology
- Public Health & Hospital Administration: Master of Public Health (MPH – COQP19) and Master of Health Administration.
2. Examination Architecture & Evaluation Matrix
The NTA evaluation framework utilizes a Computer-Based Test (CBT) structure designed to measure domain-specific subject competence.
| Parameter | Structural Specification |
| Testing Agency | National Testing Agency (NTA) |
| Exam Format | Computer-Based Test (CBT) |
| Question Distribution | 75 Domain-Specific Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs) |
| Scoring Scheme | +4 for Correct Answer; -1 for Incorrect Answer |
| Medium of Examination | English & Hindi (Bilingual) |
| Target Qualifications | B.Sc. in Allied Health, BMLT, B.Pharma, B.P.T., or MBBS/BAMS/BHMS |
3. Institutional Counseling & Strategic Merit Allocation
Upon score normalization, NTA generates an All-India Scorecard. Admission does not occur through a single centralized counseling portal; rather, each participating institution (such as BHU, BBAU, JNU, and Central Universities) publishes independent merit cutoff ranks.
Scholars at Rajput Mother Academy are advised to align their domain paper selection precisely with the target university’s eligibility criteria during the initial NTA registration phase.
