Breaking News: CUET-UG 2025 Postponed
The National Testing Agency (NTA) has officially postponed the Common University Entrance Test for Undergraduate courses (CUET-UG) 2025. According to recent announcements, the entrance examination will now commence on May 13, 2025, instead of the previously scheduled May 8, 2025. This postponement affects approximately 13-14 lakh students who have registered for this crucial examination, which serves as a gateway to undergraduate admissions in central, state, deemed, and private universities across India.
Reasons Behind the Delay
The postponement comes amid concerns about logistical readiness and administrative preparation. Several factors have contributed to this decision:
- Overlap with NEET-UG Examination: The NTA recently conducted the NEET-UG 2025 examination on May 4, which involved approximately 22 lakh students. The proximity between these two major national examinations has created logistical challenges for the testing agency, making it difficult to manage both exams within such a short timeframe.
- Lack of Communication and Preparedness: There has been a noticeable delay in the release of essential examination materials, including the CUET date sheet, city intimation slips, and admit cards, indicating administrative hurdles. This lack of preparedness raised concerns about the smooth conduct of the examination on the initially scheduled dates.
- Exam Center Preparation: With over 13 lakh students registered for CUET-UG 2025, ensuring the readiness of examination centers across the country requires additional time and coordination. The NTA needs to ensure that all technical systems and infrastructure are fully operational to prevent any disruptions during the examination.
- Quality Assurance Measures: The delay also allows NTA to implement additional quality control measures to ensure a fair and transparent examination process, which is particularly important given that CUET results will determine admissions to prestigious universities nationwide.
What This Means for Students: Key Dates and Schedule
The revised examination schedule will now run from May 13 through the first week of June 2025. Students should be aware of the following important updates:
- City Intimation Slips: Expected to be available by May 7, 2025 (today) at cuet.nta.nic.in
- Admit Cards: Likely to be issued 4-5 days before the respective examination date
- Subject-wise Exam Schedule: To be published shortly on the official website
- Examination Mode: The exam will continue to be conducted in Computer-Based Test (CBT) mode
- Duration: Each subject test will be 60 minutes long with 50 mandatory MCQs
- Result Declaration: Expected by late June or early July 2025
The examination will continue to be conducted in Computer-Based Test (CBT) mode for all 37 subjects, including 13 languages, 23 domain subjects, and the general test.
