CUET UG 2024: The National Testing Agency (NTA) on Tuesday postponed the Common University Entrance Test Undergraduate (CUET UG) 2024 for Delhi due to ‘manpower issues’.
“It is being informed to all the concerned candidates and stakeholders that due to unavoidable reasons, the test papers (Chemistry -306, Biology – 304, English – 101, and General Test – 501) which were earlier scheduled on 15 May 2024 stand postponed for the candidates appearing in Centres across Delhi only. The examination will now be held on 29 of May 2024. The revised admit Cards will be issued for candidates appearing in center across Delhi,” the NTA said in an official notice.
This postponement comes a few hours before the exam begins for exam centres across the country on May 15. The NTA claims that the reason behind this postponement is manpower issues caused due to the ongoing Lok Sabha elections. “CUET UG is held at a large scale and we had selected several exam centres and invigilators are deployed for this process. However, we were facing issues in getting appropriate amount of invigilators in Delhi exam centres for the May 15 exam due to the ongoing Lok Sabha elections. So, NTA has decided to conduct the May 15 exam after elections, i.e. May 29,” an NTA official told indianexpress.com.
However, the exam scheduled on May 15 will be held as per earlier communicated schedule in all other cities across the country (including Gurugram, Ghaziabad, Faridabad, and Noida) and abroad. Further examinations scheduled on other dates (May 16, 17, 18) at all centers including those in Delhi will be held as scheduled.
Recently, on May 13, NTA had issued admit cards for CUET UG 2024. However, in the evening NTA issued another notice for candidates requesting them download the hall tickets only after May 14 evening. “Candidates are advised to download the admit card on May 14th Evening so that any changes in the Examination Centre due to administrative reasons may be reflected in the admit card,” an official notice from NTA stated.
Candidates can download their CUET UG 2024 admit cards from the official website – exams.nta.ac.in/CUET-UG/.
CUET UG will be conducted between May 15 and 24 for about 13.48 lakh candidates, in multiple exam centres in 380 cities including 26 cities outside India. While the exams between May 15 and 18 will be held in pen-paper mode, the remaining exams till May 24 will be conducted online.
