The National Testing Agency (NTA) has rescheduled the afternoon session of the CUET UG 2026 exam on May 30. The exam will now start at 4:00 PM at affected centers. This change follows a technical glitch experienced by TCS, the exam service provider.
Technical Glitch Causes Schedule Change
Several test centers nationwide encountered connectivity and server issues. These problems arose just before the scheduled start of the afternoon shift. The NTA confirmed that the infrastructure issues are resolved.
NTA Guarantees Compensatory Time
All affected candidates will receive their full allotted exam duration. Center officials received instructions to provide compensatory time. The NTA stated that the delay will not reduce writing time for any student.
Invigilators will manually record the finish times for candidates. This ensures fairness for all participants.
Advisory for Future Sessions
The NTA and TCS are implementing extra precautions for upcoming exam days. Exam center staff are on alert. Candidates should monitor the NTA website for any further updates. Arrive at the test center at the designated time.
The NTA apologized for the inconvenience. They aim to ensure smooth conduct of the remaining computer-based examinations.
The morning session of the CUET UG 2026 on May 30 proceeded without issues.
