Greetings! I'm studying B.sc Bioinformatics final year at a tier-2 college. I'd like to get admission in either M.sc Data Science/M.sc Information Technology/ MCA in any of the central universities in India. Do I need to apply for CUET or CUCET? Or are they the same? And, what is the eligibility?

There is no difference between CUET and CUCET. The full form of CUET is Common University Entrance Test which is the new name of Central University Common Entrance Test. National testing agency  will conduct Common University Entrance Test.
