Several aspirants of the Common University Entrance Test (CUET) UG, who were not able to attempt the exam on 4th August and 5th August are now confused about their revised exam dates.
The aspirants are alleging on a social media platform that their exam dates have not been revised in the admit cards available on the NTA portal – cuet.samarth.ac.in - and still show the actual exam date. A candidate tweeted, “Sir my exam on 5 Aug which got canceled earlier due to a technical glitch has not been rescheduled yet but it still showing 5th Aug, no new date has been given sir please look into the matter I have mailed many times.” Another tweet from a candidate brings into the limelight that the admit card still shows old dates for the canceled exam with no response from NTA on any platform.
The National Testing Agency (NTA) has specified that the exam for such candidates will be held from the 24th of August to the 26th of August. An NTA senior official stated to the media, “Their exam will be held on August 24, 25, and 26. Their admit cards will in all likelihood come today. However, of this lot of students, some had some individual grievances and wanted some special date concession. Their exam will be held on August 30.”
Admit cards for these candidates are likewise to be released today at the official CUET UG website - cuet.samarth.ac.in.
The NTA officials have stated that the question paper for the second shift of the examination could only be uploaded at 5 pm and the download at 489 centers could start at 5:25 pm, while the exam was scheduled to begin from 3 pm. The same technical glitches continued on August 5th and some centers state the problem persisted in other phases too.
Now, the affected students are getting another chance to appear for the entrance test between 24th August and August 26th.
