Uni-GUAGE – a single All-India entrance exam for Medical and Engineering seats

ERA (Education Assessment and Rating) Foundation, a not-for-profit organization, has announced ‘Uni- GAUGE EMeD’ a single all-India entrance exam window for multiple  universities.

This a step to provide an efficient platform to students aiming for admission to engineering, medical and dental colleges,

The launch was held on Thursday 12 March 2015.

The advantage with Uni-GAUGE is that it enables the students to apply to multiple universities through a single gateway.

The partner universities will accept Uni-GAUGE scores as one of the criteria for admission. However, they will have complete autonomy on their admission process.

Subramanya, CEO, ERA Foundation said the test will fulfill a vital need in the Indian higher education system by helping the student community to apply to multiple universities through a single gateway.
