CUET UG 2026: Recently, significant controversy has surrounded the NEET examination, which was subsequently cancelled. Meanwhile, major news is now emerging regarding the CUET UG 2026 examination. On May 30, 2026, scenes of severe disorganisation were witnessed at various CUET UG 2026 examination centres. At several centres across the country, the morning shift paper failed to commence at its scheduled time, leaving candidates and their parents visibly irate.

• Exam Commencement: 4:00 PM (instead of 3:00 PM)
Candidates appearing for the morning session are given the full allotted time to complete their papers and are permitted to exit the examination hall only after finishing their exams.

Due to blank computer screens and server outages, students were left waiting at their seats. However, the NTA has now stated that the technical fault has been fully rectified and that the examination has resumed smoothly.

The NTA has released a helpline number and an official email ID to address any queries or provide assistance.

Additionally, strict security protocols have been implemented. No candidate from the morning shift will be permitted to exit the examination hall before completing their paper.
