CUET UG 2022: Attendance dips to 74% on day two of entrance exam

On the first day, many students in Delhi missed the exams due to the last-minute change in the exam centre venue. Netaji Subhas University of Technology in Dwarka Sector 3 was among the venues in the national capital allotted for Slot 1 papers on July 15 when admit cards were issued to candidates on July 12. However, the centre was changed to Delhi University’s North Campus.

Saturday was less chaotic with aspirants saying they “learnt lessons” from the glitches of the inaugural day. Many of those who appeared on the first day also helped them in understanding the pattern.

The exam is being conducted in two phases — phase 1 in July and phase 2 in August. Candidates who have opted for Physics, Chemistry or Biology have been assigned the phase 2 of the CUET exam, given that NEET (UG) 2022 will be held on July 17.
