The National Testing Agency (NTA) has announced a re-test for over 3,700 students who were forced to leave exam centres during the Common University Entrance Test (CUET) UG due to a technical glitch. The decision comes after widespread complaints from candidates who faced disruptions, leading to an incomplete examination experience.
Re-test Details
The NTA stated that the re-test will be conducted for those students who could not complete their papers because of the glitch. A new date for the re-examination will be announced shortly on the official CUET website. Affected candidates are advised to check for updates regularly.
Technical Glitch Impact
On the day of the exam, several centres reported issues with the computer-based test interface, causing delays and forcing some students to leave without finishing. The NTA acknowledged the problem and assured that corrective measures are being taken to prevent such issues in the future.
Students' Response: Many students expressed relief at the announcement but urged the NTA to ensure a smooth process in the re-test. Some demanded compensation for the inconvenience caused.
This incident adds to the series of challenges faced by the CUET, which is crucial for admissions to central universities. The NTA has promised strict action against any lapses and is working to restore confidence among aspirants.
