CUET UG 2022 cancelled in Noida; students told about postponement at exam centre

NEW DELHI: Several candidates who travelled from far-off places reached the Noida exam centre only to learn that the Common University Entrance Test (CUET UG 2022) was cancelled due to technical glitches.

CUET 2022 Phase 2 Live Updates

A student from Karol Bagh, Delhi, told Careers360, “My centre was in Noida sector 64, which is around 28 kms (from where he lives). It was around a 1-1:15 hour journey by metro. They should have at least tried to inform beforehand. Maybe me and many other students could have turned back midway to save time.”

“They also told the students that if we want to give the exam on some other date except August 12, we should email our preference. All the students got to know about this only after reaching the exam centre! There was complete ruckus there! They also asked us to email our preferable date on an email id they gave to students at the gate,” he said.

It was the guard stationed at the CUET 2022 exam centre in Noida who told the students about the postponement and asked to email their preferable exam date to Change@nta.ac.in.

Many students also took to Twitter demanding clarity on the confusion caused due to last-minute change in CUET 2022 exam dates. The National Testing Agency (NTA) in a notice issued on August 3 late evening informed that the CUET 2022 has been postponed for candidates appearing in the cities in Kerala due to heavy rain.

However, students in Noida were left in a limbo as they were asked to return after they reached the exam centre.

CUET 2022 Postponed

A student wrote on Twitter, “CUET exam which was scheduled for 4th August 2022, is postponed without prior notice. students were informed about this when they reached the examination centre. This shows how irresponsibly NTA is taking examinations.”
