CUET 2023: Number of shifts, centers increased, over 11 lakh registrations so far, informs UGC chief

University Grants Commission (UGC) Chairman Jagadesh Kumar has said that the Common University Entrance Test (CUET) UG will be held in three shifts in a day instead of two. Last year, the CUET Exam was held in two shifts. 

The UGC Chairman said, “Extra computers and extra centres have been arranged as plan B so that in case there are any glitches, the candidates can be shifted there and the exam for a particular shift will not be cancelled."

He said, “I agree there were several glitches during the exam last time but this year all issues have been ironed out. Keeping in mind the experience of the students, a plan has been chalked out and we are ready to ensure that the candidates just have to worry about the exam and not any glitches."

"Over 11.5 lakh registration has been received so far," the UGC Chairman said. The National Testing Agency (NTA) has earlier extended the deadline for application form submission to March 30. Earlier, the last date to submit the CUET Application Form 2023 was March 12, 2023.

"We are doing that by identifying the centres well in advance and by looking at the infrastructure that is available including the computers, bandwidth, technical personnel at the centres, so that the second edition is glitch free," he said.
