CUET UG 2025 May 26 exam marred by ‘pan-India’ technical issues

Apparently a pan-India technical issue has delayed the Common University Entrance Test (CUET UG) 2025 at various examination centres across the country, sending a wave of concern from Delhi to Bihar. The National Testing Agency (NTA) is conducting CUET UG exam 2025 from May 13 to June 3 for admission to undergraduate programmes in participating universities.

Recently, the testing agency cancelled the CUET UG 2025 May 14 exam at Srinagar centre due to server errors. The exam will be rescheduled in the upcoming days.

Several CUET UG 2025 aspirants complained on social media that they are not being allowed to enter the examination hall even when the exam reporting time is 7 am to 8:30 am for the first shift.

Sharing the image of a CUET UG exam centre 2025 in Uttar Pradesh’s Ayodhya, a banking professional said in a post on X, “8:25 am right now. This is a CUET UG examination centre in Ayodhya. Reporting time for the exam is 7 am - 8:30 am. Servers are down according to the centre and no student has been allowed entry till now. Worst management by NTA and its examination centers.”

'Uncertainty' at various CUET UG 2025 exam centres

A professor also flagged delay in exam at an exam centre in the national capital. “CUET UG 2025 May 26 exam of 9 am uncertain at Pawan Ganga Education Centre 2.”

“CUET UG paper was to be held in the morning shift at Unzip Technology Center in Kanpur. It is being told at the center that there is a problem with the Pan India server. And if there is a problem with the server, then why has the list of roll numbers not been put up outside the building since yesterday?,” asked a candidate.

Another candidate reported, “CUET UG 2025 exam today. The centre ABCD E Exam Vidya mansion behind TCS Ajronda chowk Faridabad is not letting candidates to enter the examination hall at 8 AM reporting technical issues.”

A person related to the Jawaharlal Nehru University complained about a delay in exam at a Patna centre. “CUET UG entrance is delayed in Patna. Center is not allowing students to enter due to some “India wide” technical error,” he posted and asked NTA about confirmation and the next steps.
