CUET UG 2024 to be in hybrid mode: NTA

The Common University Entrance Test-Undergraduate (CUET UG) is set to undergo significant changes this year, as it transitions from an online format to a hybrid mode, as per media reports.

In a recent tweet referencing a report, UGC Chairman Mamidala Jagadesh Kumar stated that the CUET UG 2024 examinations, conducted nationwide, will adopt a hybrid approach. This format will include the traditional pen-and-paper test using OMR sheets alongside the Computer Based Test (CBT).

The introduction of the hybrid format aims to alleviate the burden



on students residing in rural areas, eliminating the need to travel long distances for the exam by allowing them to take the exam closer to their homes.

Registration for the CUET UG 2024 is expected to commence around February 19, with the exam scheduled to take place between May 15 and 31.

As per reports, officials from the National Testing Agency (NTA) and the University Grants Commission (UGC) said that several modifications are in store for this edition of the exam, including alterations to the format, subject choices, and difficulty level.
