New Delhi: On the first day of the CUET UG 2022 Phase 2 examination, the entrance test was ruined due to technical issues. The issues were being faced in such a way that NTA had to postpone the examination. 

NTA had to cancel the CUET UG 2022 examinations being held in over 400 centres. The morning slot was set back due to technical glitches and the afternoon slot faced the problem of not receiving the general test paper on the screen. 

As per reports, the agency has announced that the first shift exams which were postponed are being rescheduled for August 12, 2022. While the second shift exams will be held between August 12 to August 14, 2022. 

In a statement NTA has said, “Due to various administrative and technical reasons, the CUET (UG) 2022 examination scheduled for August 4, 2022, (first shift) has been postponed to August 12, 2022, for a few examination Centres…”

Garima Shreya (17) was left sorely disappointed on Thursday when she found out she has to reappear for the Central University Entrance Test (CUET) — for the fourth time now — owing to glitches. “I appeared for Accounts, Business, English and General Test. This was my third attempt after server issues that took place in July. Even today, I couldn’t attempt the General Test. Now I will appear for the exam a fourth time,” she said.

Isha Jha, who wrote her test at the centre at Delhi University and came from Ghaziabad, said, “I appeared for Physical Education, Mass Media and Communication and the General Test. I could finish all my papers except for the General test. Only that has got postponed to a later date that is yet to be declared. I will have to come again to appear.” 

Sakshi Adlakha (18), who was scheduled to attempt the CUET exam at a centre in Noida Sector 62, said, “ My subjects were Mass Communication, Political Science, English and General Knowledge. My centre cancelled the exam at the last minute, on the spot, without any prior notice. I was prepared. They have now postponed the exam to August 12. Only after I get my results will I be able to get a clearer picture of the college I would study in. A lot is uncertain right now.”

Isha Jain from Ashok Vihar said, “I appeared for English, Mass media and General Test. The papers were good and from the syllabus. However, due to technical glitches in the server, I could not attempt the General Test and it has now been rescheduled.”

The NTA in its statement said that the question paper was uploaded late. “Because of technical reasons, the question paper for the second shift of the examination could only be uploaded at 5 pm and the download at 489 centres could start at 5.25 pm, while the exam was scheduled to begin from 3 pm. Reports were asked from the observers/city coordinators on the ground. Based on their recommendations, the second shift scheduled for August 4, 2022 (Shift 2) (from 3 pm to 6 pm) is cancelled and the same will now be conducted between 12 and 14 August.”
