The National Testing Agency (NTA) will be conducting a retest of the CUET-UG examination if any of the grievances raised by candidates are found to be correct. In that case, the examination will be conducted from July 15 to 19, said officials to news agency PTI.
The NTA has announced the answer keys of the undergraduate entrance examination and candidates can submit their challenges against the answer key by July 9, said a senior NTA official.
"The NTA is also addressing public Greivances regarding the exam conducted for CUET-UG that were received up to June 30. If a grievance is found genuine, the NTA is committed to redoing the exam for these candidates at selected centres any day between July 15 and 19," reported PTI quoting the official.
According to candidates, there was loss of time at certain exam centres and technical issues were also reported.
The examination was conducted in a hybrid mode across the country. However, in Delhi, the examination was cancelled a night before the exam due to logistical issues. The examination was conducted on a later date by the NTA.
Examination was conducted in pen and paper mode for 15 subjects, while for the other 48 subjects, the examination was held in computer-based mode.
Over 13.4 lakh candidates registered for the common entrance test for admission to undergraduate courses in 261 central, state, deemed and private universities this year, the PTI report mentioned.
