The National Testing Agency (NTA) has announced that the admit cards for the re-test of the Common University Entrance Test Undergraduate (CUET UG) 2024 will be released shortly. The re-test, scheduled for July 19, is intended for 1,000 students who expressed dissatisfaction with the provisional answer key and submitted grievances to the testing body. The re-examination will be conducted in the Computer-Based Test (CBT) mode.
The initial CUET UG exams were conducted by the NTA on May 15, 16, 17, 18, 21, 22, 24, and 29 at various centers across 379 cities, including 26 cities outside India. Approximately 1.348 million candidates participated in these exams. The NTA released the provisional answer key on July 7 and invited objections until July 9. Originally, the answer key was set to be released on June 30.
The delay in releasing the answer key has caused frustration among thousands of students awaiting their results, as the CUET UG score is crucial for admission to undergraduate courses in top universities. Students have criticized the testing agency for perceived laxity and incompetence.
Addressing the growing concerns, the NTA stated in a public notice, “The challenges were invited from July 7 to 9. All challenges received online were shown to the concerned subject experts. Based on the feedback from the subject experts, the final answer keys are being prepared and will be uploaded soon on the official website of the CUET (UG) – 2024.”
The NTA assured that the admit cards for all affected candidates would be released soon. Candidates are advised to download their hall tickets using their application number and date of birth from the website exams.nta.ac.in/CUET-UG/.
A total of 261 universities will accept CUET UG 2024 scores, making this examination a critical component for students seeking admission to undergraduate programs.
This announcement aims to address student concerns and ensure a smooth process for the upcoming re-test. The NTA is working diligently to finalize the answer keys and prepare for the re-examination to uphold the integrity and efficiency of the testing process.
