While the exam was scheduled to begin on Thursday, the agency has not announced the subject-wise datesheet yet.
According to sources, the National Testing Agency (NTA) has just concluded the mammoth task of conducting the medical entrance exam NEET-UG, which was under scanner last year, leading to the exam integrity being questioned.
“The exam is likely to be postponed, and new dates will be announced soon,” a source said.
The CUET-UG, which is a gateway to undergraduate admissions in the country, has seen a record 13.5 lakh applications this year.
In a pattern shift from last year, the exam will be conducted only in the Computer-Based Test (CBT) mode.
In the first edition of the exam in 2022, CUET-UG was plagued by technical glitches. Also, as a result of tests for a subject being conducted over multiple shifts, the scores had to be normalised during the announcement of results.
The exam was conducted in a hybrid mode for the first time in 2024. It was cancelled across Delhi the night before it was to be held due to logistical reasons. PTI GJS RHL
