The first phase of CUET-UG was held between July 15 and 20, while the second phase started yesterday.
CUET for college admissions is going on smoothly in over 95 per cent centres, the National Testing Agency said this morning amid reports of cancellations. Any cancellation or postponement of exams for undergraduate admissions will be informed by the National Testing Agency, or NTA, by 11 am.
The first phase of CUET-UG was held between July 15 and 20, while the second phase started yesterday. On July 15, a late-night change in centres for the CUET resulted in hundreds of students missing the exam. The CUET, short for Common University Entrance Test, is a key requirement for undergraduate admissions to central universities.
The University Grants Commission, or UGC, chief Jagadesh Kumar had in March announced that CUET scores, and not Class 12 marks, would be mandatory for admissions to 45 central universities which can fix their minimum eligibility criteria.
