The CUET exam conducted by NTA may face delays due to administrative reasons such as changes in exam schedules, logistics, or overlapping national-level exams. Occasionally, technical issues during form submissions or the requirement for additional time to allocate exam centers can cause postponements. It's advisable to regularly visit the official CUET website for updated notifications. Students should use this time to strengthen their preparation by revising previous question papers and focusing on high-weightage topics, ensuring they are well-prepared whenever the revised dates are announced.

For CUET UG cutoff, visit the official website of your chosen university.
