NTA has scheduled the CUET-UG exam for Delhi centres on May 29. This follows the postponement of the May 15 exam, which was delayed the night before due to unavoidable circumstances.

The National Testing Agency (NTA) has announced that the Common University Entrance Test for Undergraduates (CUET-UG) will be reconducted on May 29 at a Kanpur examination centre in Uttar Pradesh, following an incident where the incorrect question paper was distributed. This error occurred on Friday, May 17.

A senior official from the National Testing Agency provided further details on the incident, explaining that the decision to reconduct the exam on May 29 was made after an unfortunate mix-up occurred on May 15. Over 220 students at the Maharana Pratap Group of Colleges in Kanpur received the wrong question papers. Specifically, English medium question papers were mistakenly distributed to students who were meant to receive Hindi medium papers. The official emphasized that there was no paper leak involved; it was a case of human error by the invigilators.

Additionally, the NTA has scheduled the CUET-UG exam for Delhi centres on May 29. This follows the postponement of the May 15 exam, which was delayed the night before due to unavoidable circumstances.
