The National Testing Agency (NTA) has announced a fresh attempt for candidates who missed the CUET-UG 2026 exam due to a technical glitch.
Approximately 5% of the 73,000 candidates, or 3,765 students, were impacted by the issue and will be given another opportunity to take the exam.
The NTA has confirmed that the technical glitch was caused by a service provider, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), and has since been resolved.
Candidates who were present at their examination centres on May 30 but couldn't complete their examination due to the technical glitch will get an opportunity for examination.
The NTA has also asked TCS to conduct a root-cause analysis and submit its report immediately.
Opposition leaders have cornered the central government over repeated examination fiascos, including the NEET paper leak scam, CBSE OSM row, and now the CUET glitch.
