19 candidates who missed CUET UG Phase 1 due to venue change allowed for retest

The National Testing Agency (NTA) has allowed 19 candidates who missed the Common University Entrance Test (CUET-UG) in July due to last-minute changes in examination centres to sit for a retest.

NTA officials said the retest will be held during the second phase of the CUET-UG, which starts on August 4.

The testing agency had formed a three-member panel to look into, on a case-to-case basis, requests by at



least 31 candidates who said they had missed their exams due to the venue change. Headed by a retired IIT-Delhi professor, the panel also comprised a Delhi University (DU) professor and a school teacher.

Of the 19 candidates allowed to take a retest, 17 had initially been allotted Netaji Subhas University of Technology (NSUT), Delhi, as the exam centre, which was changed to DU’s north campus on July 14, just a day before the exam started.
