CUET UG 2022: NTA cancels Phase 4 exam at a few centres on Wednesday after reports of technical problems
CUET UG 2022 Phase IV Exam Postponed: Affected candidates will now get the chance to reappear for their exams, for which the details will soon be notified, says UGC chairman
CUET UG 2022 Phase 4 Exams Postponed: The fourth phase of the Common University Entrance Test undergraduate (CUET UG) kicked off on Wednesday, with some centres reporting technical snags leading to exam cancellation.
Among centres where the morning slot of the exam was cancelled was Guru Hargobind Institute of Management and Information Technology in Delhi, Asia Pacific Institute in Jasola (Delhi) AIS Assessment Zone, Aakash International Senior Secondary School in Delhi’s Nangloi region and JNM College Khushal Nagar in Varanasi.
Confirming this to The Indian Express, University Grants Commission (UGC) Chairman M Jagadesh Kumar said, “In some centres, there was a server problem. But all those students will get a retest. However, in the rest of the country, including remote areas, the morning session went off well.”
Technical issues with the conduct of CUET-UG persist despite the measures taken by the National Testing Agency (NTA) after the controversial second phase that started on August 4. On August, NTA had to cancel the entire second slot of the exam for about 50,000 candidates since the question papers could not be uploaded on time.
Last week, UGC had announced that the NTA has taken a series of measures, including additional technical manpower, more mock tests at exam centres and increased server capacity, to ensure smooth conduct of the fourth phase of CUET-UG.
