Why Was CUET UG 2025 Postponed?
The NTA cited logistical reasons and delays in releasing exam city slips as key reasons behind the shift. The clash with other major exams, especially NEET UG 2025 (May 4), also influenced the rescheduling decision.
Many students had not received confirmation of their exam cities, causing anxiety and confusion just days before the originally scheduled exam.
