In Kerala, the NTA had postponed both the shifts of CUET-UG due to heavy rains. The agency said that it will announce fresh dates for the exams later.

Students who travelled to the exam centres only to find out their test has been cancelled or postponed, had a harrowing time.

The first phase of CUET(UG) 2022 exam started on July 15 and concluded on July 20. The NTA conducted the exams at 489 centres located in approximately 259 cities across India and nine cities outside India.

The second phase of Common University Entrance Test (CUET)-UG had a bad start on Thursday as technical glitches and administrative issues forced the NTA to cancel second shift exam across all 489 centres and postpone the first shift at some locations in 17 states.

The University Grants Commission (UGC) chief Jagadesh Kumar had in March announced that CUET scores, and not Class 12 marks, would be mandatory for admission to 45 central universities which can fix their minimum eligibility criteria.

With 14.9 lakh registrations, the CUET, common gateway for undergraduate admissions in all central universities, is now the second-biggest entrance exam in the country, surpassing the JEE-Main's average registration of nine lakh.
