The Common University Entrance Test-Undergraduate (CUET-UG) has been deferred to 29 May in Manipur in view of the poor law and order situation, the National Testing Agency (NTA) said on Friday.
The second edition of the undergraduate entrance exam is set to begin across the country on 21 May. While it was earlier scheduled to end on 31 May, the NTA decided to extend the exam schedule by at least four days to accommodate the higher number of candidates in certain cities.
The NTA, which conducts the exam, is also considering setting up a temporary exam centre in Srinagar to accommodate candidates who have been allotted centres outside Jammu and Kashmir. Several students from Jammu and Kashmir and Jharkhand have been caught off guard.
