The universities agreed earlier this month to hold the test titled Central Admission Test to reduce the hassles faced by admission seekers.
Vice chancellors of the 19 universities at a meeting yesterday decided that there will be three exams in the test one each for science, humanities and business studies students based on Higher Secondary Certificate exams syllabus.
The test will be held at all the 19 universities and students who passed HSC-level exams this year and 2019 with a certain GPA will be eligible to participate in the test.
The new method of admission has been in discussion since 2010. It was aimed at relieving the admission seekers from having to travel to different universities in different parts of the country every admission season just to be able to sit for the tests.
