CUET UG 2022 Phase II postponement: Aspirants slam NTA over technical glitches, last minute changes

With the cancellation of CUET 2022 phase two, the aspirants soon started slamming NTA against the last-minute postponement of the common entrance exam. Let us check out some of the reactions by CUET aspirants.

CUET-UG 2022 Phase-2: The Common University Entrance Test (CUET-UG) 2022 second phase ran into a major technical snag on August 4, 2022. More than 50,000 candidates across the country returned from centres without taking the exam as the National Testing Agency (NTA) failed to upload question papers on time.

Postponing CUET 2022 phase two exam, the NTA, an autonomous body under the Ministry of Education, said these candidates would be assigned slots between August 12-14. “The same admit card will be valid for the concerned candidates whose examinations have been postponed,” NTA senior director (exams) Sadhana Parashar said in a statement. The last date of the second phase of the exam, for which 14.4 lakh candidates have registered, is August 20.

CUET 2022 centres affected due to technical glitches

At first glitches were first reported in 41 centres across 29 cities, affecting nearly 4,000 candidates who were assigned the morning slot (9 am-12.15 pm). Apart from Delhi and Ladakh, the affected centres were located across 15 states: Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Chhattisgarh, Haryana, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Odisha, Puducherry, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, Tripura, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand and West Bengal. These candidates will have to appear for the exam on August 12, the NTA said.

“Because of technical reasons, the question paper for the second shift of the examination could only be uploaded at 5 pm and the download at 489 centres could start at 5.25 pm, while the exam was scheduled to begin from 3 pm,” the NTA said in a statement. Stating that these candidates will be allotted a new date, between August 12 and 14, it said that if the dates are “not suitable, the candidates can send an e-mail to datechange@nta.ac.in, mentioning their desired date and roll number”.
