Taking note of students having little time between the NEET and CUET-UG (Phase 1) exams to prepare for the additional travel and other logistical obstacles involved, candidates who have opted for Physics, Chemistry or Biology will no longer have to appear for these domain papers during the first phase of the exam in July. They will sit for these papers in the second phase from August 4 to August 10.
Additionally, NTA will start issuing admit cards (for phase I) from 6 pm onwards tomorrow, i.e. July 12, 2022
This is the first time NTA is conducting CUET-UG 2022, which is being organised in nearly 500 cities across India and 10 cities outside India. It is scheduled to take place on July 15, July 16, July 19, July 20, August 4, August 5, August 6, August 7, August 8, and August 10.
