NTA Postpones CUET UG 2024 Exam Scheduled for May 15 in Delhi, check new date here
This decision, announced shortly before the scheduled exam time, is attributed by the NTA to staffing challenges stemming from the concurrent Lok Sabha elections.
An official notice from the NTA informs all concerned candidates and stakeholders that, due to unforeseen circumstances, the test papers (Chemistry – 306, Biology – 304, English – 101 and General Test – 501) originally scheduled for May 15, 2024, in Delhi are postponed. The new date for these examinations is May 29, 2024. Revised admit cards will be issued accordingly for candidates in Delhi.
This decision, announced shortly before the scheduled exam time, is attributed by the NTA to staffing challenges stemming from the concurrent Lok Sabha elections. An NTA official explained that the CUET UG is a large-scale operation requiring numerous exam centres and invigilators. However, securing an adequate number of invigilators for the May 15 exam in Delhi was hindered by the ongoing elections. Consequently, the NTA opted to reschedule the exam to May 29.
