The first day of the second phase of Chuet for undergraduate courses was marred by several issues, with many candidates claiming to have faced technical glitches and some complaining that their exams had been postponed.

In an official statement, the NTA said, “Due to various administrative and technical reasons, the CUET-UG 2022 examination scheduled for August 4 (first shift) has been postponed to August 12 for some examination centres.”

“If August 12-14 is not suitable, candidates can send an email to datechange@nta.ac.in mentioning their preferred date and roll number,” the NTA statement said.

As time goes by the movement will be very difficult and there may be disruption of power,” said Sadhan Parashar, Senior Director, NTA.
