University Grants Commission (UGC) chairman M Jagadesh Kumar told the PTI that the commission is working to conduct the CUET UG 2024 with a large registration in the OMR mode. “This will help us choose a large number of schools as test centres. This will ensure that the students will get a centre within their town or city and do not have to travel to faraway places," he added.

The PTI report added that the exam is likely to be conducted in a shorter duration as the agency is contemplating a hybrid mode, including OMR sheets and a computer-based test. The move will also ensure that most of the students get a chance to take the exam in a city of their choice.

The CUET UG exam 2024 will have 50 questions in four sections – section 1A (language test), section 1B (optional language test), section 2 (domain-specific test) and section 3 (general test).
