CUET UG 2025 answers 'magically' altered, candidates slam NTA over discrepancies, result delay

Amid the speculation that CUET UG results 2025 will be declared soon, candidates have expressed concerns about CUET responses being “magically” altered in the answer sheets. Many students have flagged discrepancies in the CUET UG response sheet after the National Testing Agency (NTA) published their responses along with question paper and provisional answer key.

Tagging the NTA, and Union ministry of education, candidates took to X demanding clarifications and transparency in the exam. The NTA conducted the CUET UG exam 2025 was conducted from May 13 to June 4 for 37 subjects, including 13 languages, 23 domain-specific subjects, and one general aptitude test.

The CUET UG response sheet and provisional answer key was published on June 17. However, the NTA did not announce the CUET UG result date. While some media reports claimed that the NTA will declare the CUET UG results today, some speculate that the results will be announced in the first week of July.

Meanwhile, several students have also been urging the NTA to give a clarity on CUET results as several universities have started the application process for UG admissions.

#Shutdown NTA: Candidates angry over mismanagement

A X user, Garvit Sethi, wrote: “NTA Has become a national joke. Shut it down if you can’t handle your job! For the past several years, it’s the same story with every exam — whether it’s CUET, NEET, or NET.” He went on to say that the entrance exams are marred by faulty answer keys, out-of-syllabus questions, mysteriously changing answers, last-minute re-exam, technical glitches, and lack of accountability.

“And now in CUET UG 2025, the same mess all over again. How many more batches will suffer because of NTA’s incompetence? If you can’t conduct exams fairly and responsibly, then SHUT DOWN NTA. Stop playing with the future of students. Stop treating lakhs of aspirants like experiments,” the post read.

Another X user shared the results of a social media poll asking, “Did your CUET UG 2025 response sheet show a different answer than what you are 100% sure you marked in the exam?” According to the poll, 36 respondents answered “yes,” indicating that their answers were incorrectly reflected on the response sheet.

While another user said: “Dear @NTA_Exams please solve your mismanagement in exams, in result and in exam postponements. Ensure that you conduct your exams transparently and perfectly and students face no issue from your side.”
