NEW DELHI, July 14, 2024 — The National Testing Agency (NTA) has announced a retest for the Common University Entrance Test (CUET) UG 2024. This decision affects about 1,000 candidates following several postponements and cancellations due to exam conduct issues. The retest is scheduled for July 19, 2024, and results are anticipated by July 22, 2024.
CUET UG Results: Reasons for the Retest
The CUET UG exam, initially scheduled between May 15 and 24, 2024, faced significant disruptions. The NTA postponed the May 15 exam in all Delhi centers due to logistical problems, rescheduling it for May 19. The provisional answer keys released on July 7, 2024, indicated that a retest would be necessary if student grievances were validated.
CUET UG Results 2024 Delay in Results
CUET UG Results 2024 were scheduled for release on June 30, 2024, but delays occurred due to paper leak allegations involving NEET UG, UGC NET, and CSIR UGC NET. The exam is a crucial single-window test for admissions to most undergraduate programs at 46 Central universities, including Delhi University, Allahabad University, and Banaras Hindu University. This year, the test was conducted in a hybrid format, both online and in pen-and-paper mode, across multiple shifts.
Addressing Student Issues
A senior NTA official confirmed that the retest aims to address various issues raised by students, including incorrect distribution of question papers and loss of time. The Oasis Public School in Hazaribagh, under scrutiny for the NEET UG leak, has around 250 students who will retake the exam.
Impact on Students
Other candidates scheduled for the retest faced problems such as incorrect question paper languages, impacting their ability to complete the exam accurately and on time.
“We are committed to ensuring a fair and transparent process for all candidates. The retest will address any discrepancies and provide a valid assessment for those affected,” stated a senior NTA official.
