All those candidates who missed their CUET exam can continue to take other entrance exams, UGC chairman announced.
NO retest for those who missed CUET UG 2022 exam: UGC Chairman clarifies
The National Testing Agency (NTA) successfully conducted the Common University Entrance Test (CUET) for Undergraduate courses phase 1 day 1. However, some students reported being late to the examination center while some missed their exams due to the relocation of the examination center.
University Grants Commission (UGC) Chairman Mamidala Jagadesh Kumar while refuting media reports that for such students retest will be done, issued a statement through a video message posted on social media. In the video message, he said that "some students reported examination centres beyond grace time for which he urged candidates to report examination centers before the reporting time regardless of ‘grace time’ allotted to them. If any candidate reaches within grace time then also he is allowed to contest the exam but not after the grace time as per the examination policies issued before."
He further stated that even when some students reported at the wrong examination centre they were allowed to write the CUET Exam 2022 with the same condition that they reported CUET test centre within grace time. He added that the candidates who missed their exam can continue to take other entrance exams.
“However, all those candidates whose exam was cancelled due to technical issues are likely to get another chance,” UGC Chairman added to his statement.
UGC chairman said that the "CUET 2022 was conducted at 245 test centres with 85 per cent attendance of students. 5,000 surveillance, 1,500 jammers were installed to avoid any malpractice using mobile networks."
NTA began the phase 1 of CUET exam 2022 on July 15. The CUET exam 2022 will be conducted from July 15 to August 20, 2020.
