CUET UG 2026: The National Testing Agency (NTA) has announced a special re-examination for 3,765 CUET UG 2026 candidates after a technical issue disrupted Shift 1 of the examination held on May 30. The agency shared the update through its official social media handle, stating that some exam centres experienced a technical glitch that delayed the start of the examination.
According to NTA, around 95% of candidates were able to complete their examination once the test resumed. However, several students who had already completed biometric verification reportedly left the centres before the exam restarted due to the unexpected delay.
In its statement, the agency said, "The technical service provider, TCS iON, has been asked to conduct a root-cause analysis and submit its report immediately." NTA also acknowledged the inconvenience faced by students and said the disruption caused stress among candidates appearing for the undergraduate entrance examination.
