UPSEE stands for Uttar Pradesh State Entrance Examination. It was earlier conducted by Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam Technical University (AKTU) for admission into undergraduate and postgraduate courses like B.Tech, B.Pharm, B.Arch, MBA, and MCA in colleges across Uttar Pradesh. However, from 2021 onwards, UPSEE has been replaced by CUET-UG, JEE Main, and NTA exams depending on the course. For B.Tech admissions in UP, students now have to appear for JEE Main. For other courses, CUET or other national-level exams are considered.
