CUET UG Exam 2023: UGC Chairman M Jagadesh Kumar said on Friday that in view of the law and order situation in Manipur, the Common Undergraduate Entrance Test CUET has been postponed till May 29. The second edition of Common University Entrance Test (CUET) is all set to begin from May 21 across the country.

"The NTA is exploring the possibility of setting up a temporary center in Srinagar to accommodate candidates who have been allotted centers outside," the University Grants Commission (UGC) chief told news agency PTI. The atmosphere in Manipur was vitiated by violence earlier this month. Due to this the exam has been postponed by a week and students still have the option to change the centre.

Kumar said the NTA has carefully reviewed the law and order situation in consultation with the state administration and has contacted these candidates telephonically to know their preferred city. Some candidates who were not in Manipur or wanted to take the exam in some other state are being allotted (centre) Delhi and other cities including Guwahati. The option to change the center is still available for the candidates of Manipur.
