Tech glitches persist on CUET Day 2

NEW DELHI: For the second consecutive day, harried students and parents had a tough time when many CUET-UG centres cancelled exams due to technical glitches. In a late night statement, the National Testing Agency (NTA) said examinations scheduled for the first shift have been postponed at 20 centres, while at 30 centres the second shift exam has been similarly put off.

The NTA took the decision following reports from observers /city coordinators. Anxious students through the day posted about their concerns on social media on day two of the Central University Entrance Test undergraduate (CUET-UG) exams.

Students in Noida were the worst affected, with the NTA cancelling the exam there. Many took to social media to share the notice NTA put up in front of the centre. The notice said, “It is regretted that due to technical/logistics reasons, the CUET (UG) exam scheduled at the centre on August 5 is postponed to August 12.”

For students and parents already stressed out due to the exam and travelling long distances to the centre, it was worse as they had to brave the rain for two hours before being turned away as the exam was cancelled at the last minute.
