Disappointed with the results of Common University Entrance Test (CUET) and lack of clarity over admission process in colleges on Friday, students on social media expressed their views and confusion over choice of college. Surbhi Tiwary said students were clueless about the admission process and some of them were forced to settle with a local college and not one of their choice. "CUET was the biggest disaster. Students who otherwise would have been sure of their future and college according to their plans, are now clueless. Even the brightest ones do not have an option now except for doing their UG from a local college which hardly makes any sense," she wrote on Twitter. Another student Shrabani Singha, who scored an average of 88 percentile after normalisation, wondered if she can get admission in any of the Delhi University colleges under the current method. Arya, another such student, who claims to have scored full marks in Political Science in raw score, wrote his percentile wa
