@DG_NTA I have incorrectly received an absent result update for Slot 1 exams that I duly attempted on 20th July at DU Stadium, North Campus. I had signed the attendance sheet & successfully submitted all exams. I have also complained on the Need Help tab. @ndtv @TOIIndiaNews pic.twitter.com/3yWSSgM4AJ

Replying to the NTA, the student said he has submitted the issue on the official website and added, “First you confuse us by giving us multiple dates for exams that we have already submitted and then you issue admit cards saying that students who have submitted the same papers previously should not reappear for the new slots.”

Many other students have also faced the same problem. Another student wrote, “Exactly the same thing happened with me. I had given my exam on 20.07.2022 of accounts, English and Business Studies and now it is showing absent.”
