CUET UG 2024: Should the grievance be determined to be valid, NTA will retest

The CUET UG 2024 tentative answer key was released today by the National Testing Agency (NTA).

As stated in the official announcement, if any student grievances regarding the exam's administration are determined to be valid, the exam conducting agency will administer a retest for CUET UG applicants from July 15–19.

Students have until June 9 at 5 p.m. to voice concerns about the CUEG UG 2024 exam, which serves as a prerequisite for undergraduate admissions to all Central government universities, and complaints to the provided provisional answer key.

The NEET UG 2024 result was revealed ten days ahead of schedule, causing controversy, and more than a month has passed since the NTA was involved in that announcement. The CUET UG result has been postponed (since the anticipated deadline was June 30), yet the results for the medical entrance exam were announced ahead of time and have prompted requests for a retake.

The nation's first hybrid CUET UG exam was held in Delhi the night before it was scheduled to take place, with reasons given for the cancellation being logistical. Similar cancellations occurred in a Kanpur center where the issuance of incorrect exam papers had caused concern.

For 15 topics, the NTA administered exams using pen and paper, while for the remaining 48 subjects, it used a computer. To minimize the normalization procedure, this was done. More than 13.4 lakh applicants registered for the test this year.

Since the announcement of the NEET UG 2024 results on June 4 and the discovery of multiple anomalies, including an incorrect question, an inflated list of top scorers, and claims of unfair grace marks and paper leaks, NTA has been under fire.

Since then, the NTA has also postponed or canceled several tests, including the NCET, CSIR UGC NET, and UGC NET. In light of this, the Center has established a high-level committee to investigate the NTA's operations.

The postgraduate medical entrance test, which NBEMS administers, has a new exam date that has been announced by the Center, which has also postponed NEET PG.
