With Common University Entrance Test (CUET) 2023 just two days away, the University Grants Commission (UGC) Chairman M Jagadesh Kumar has urged the students to avail service of Tele MANAS - a toll-free mental health helpline to support and assist people with mental health issues. The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare launched the toll-free mental health helpline to help people in need.
"Tele MANAS is an excellent & free resource that can provide them with the help they need. Access to trained and accredited mental health counselors is available across the country in multiple languages on the toll-free numbers 14416 and 1800-891-4416—an excellent resource for students in all educational institutions," he added.
The National Testing Agency (NTA) will be conducting the CUET 2023 Exam for the undergraduate programmes from May 21, 2023. Earlier, CUET UG 2023 exam was scheduled to be conducted from May 21 to May 31, 2023. However, now the testing agency has extended at least four days to accommodate the higher number of candidates in certain cities.
"In some cities, the count of registered candidates is very large. To accommodate these candidates, the CUET examination days will be extended to June 1-2 as well as June 5-6. Moreover, buffer days of June 7 and 8 are also being kept as reserve days. In the coming days, NTA will issue the City Intimation Slip for these additional days," said Sadhana Parashar, Senior Director (Exams), NTA.
