The decision of the National Testing Agency came following the requests from 15,811 candidates–after the agency gave options to them to choose a date other than August 12 to 14 that suits them following the earlier postponement of the phase II exam.
“In Phase II of CUET-UG, for a few examination Centres, due to administrative and technical reasons, the CUET (UG) 2022 examinations earlier scheduled between 4 to 6 August 2022 were postponed to 12-14 August 2022,” UGC chairman said.
“National Testing Agency had also given an option to the affected candidates to choose dates other than 12 to 14 August 2022, in case these dates were not suitable to them. 15,811 candidates requested a date different from 12 to 14 August 2022,” he added.
Similarly, many candidates also approached the NTA urging not to schedule their examination between 12 to 14 August stating the reason that during this period the country observes a series of festivals.
Many candidates had requested a change of date or city for the CUET (UG) 2022 examination post-August 10 as the allotted cities were not suitable for them, he said.
