CUET PG 2023 Chaos: Students anxious over delayed admit cards for extended exam dates

NEW DELHI: The second-edition of Common University Entrance Test-Postgraudate (CUET PG 2023) is ongoing. Like last year, aspirants are confused over exam dates, admit card, shift timings. As per the latest update, the CUET PG exam 2023 which was scheduled to be concluded on June 17 has been extended till June 30. However, candidates who have their test papers on June 22 are still awaiting the CUET PG admit card 2023.

The National Testing Agency (NTA) is conducting both CUET UG and CUET PG exams for admission to undergraduate (UG) and postgraduate (PG) admission to central universities, state universities and other participating institutes. 142 universities including Delhi University (DU), Jamia Millia Islamia (JMI), Visva Bharati University, Central University of Hyderabad, SRM University, Digital University Kerala, University of Jammu, Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University (GGSIPU), and the National Institute of Technology (NIT) Tiruchirapalli, have opted for CUET PG to grant admission to the courses offered.

Although the NTA announced to conduct the PG entrance exam between June 5 to 17 in three shifts, the exam dates were extended as some of the students could not be accommodated. The test papers for which the exams were not held are slated to be held between June 22 to 30.

‘Clueless’: Students demand clarity over rescheduled exam

The NTA released the date sheet for June 22 exams in its latest notice and said that the CUET PG admit card 2023 will be activated by June 20 evening. However, several students have taken to the social media platform such as Twitter claiming that they have not yet received their admit card.

“What an absolute fool of a person leaving many students stranded about their resheduled #cuetpg exam. Shame on you. Have some basic common sense to involve yourself and make yourself useful in situations like this,” a CUET aspirant said.

“Heights of irresponsibility and carelessness towards students by NTA. Stop taking students' mental health for granted. It's 21st today yet no update from NTA's side. Atleast notify if the exam will be conducted today or not.”

“As of now NTA has not released admit cards for the same…” an aspirant tagged UGC chairman M Jagadesh Kumar and tweeted.

Dear @mamidala90 Sir as per NTA notification the Final phase of #CUET_PG_2023 will be conducted from 21 June to 23 June, but as of now NTA has not released admit cards for the same. NTA should at least clarify whether exams will be conducted today. @DG_NTA @ugc_india
