The Students Islamic Organisation of India (SIO) requested the National Testing Agency (NTA) to postpone the CUET UG 2026 exam scheduled for May 28 . SIO cited a conflict with Eid-ul-Adha celebrations. The request followed the release of admit cards for the May 28 exam.
SIO Concerns
SIO stated that holding a national entrance exam on a religious holiday creates difficulties. Students may face issues with transportation and accommodation. They could also miss religious observances.
The organization submitted a memorandum to NTA. They asked for the May 28 exam to be moved to a different date. SIO emphasized inclusivity and fairness for students from all backgrounds.
CUET UG 2026 Exam Schedule

Over 15 lakh candidates registered for the exam this year. This data comes from NTA. Many students and parents voiced concerns on social media. They also asked NTA to reconsider the date.
NTA Response
The National Testing Agency has not released an official statement. There is no notification about postponing the May 28 exam. The official schedule still shows the exam as planned. NTA's website lists the current schedule.
