CUET UG Result 2024: The National Testing Agency(NTA) will announce the CUET UG Result soon. The NTA’s information bulletin provided June 30 as the date for the declaration of CUET-UG results. However, the NTA CUET results were not published on June 30. Meanwhile, the commencement of the semester for first-year students at Delhi University (DU) is likely to be postponed to August 16, due to a delay in the release of the Central University Entrance Test (CUET-UG) results, Vice Chancellor Yogesh Singh announced on Saturday, ANI reported.

Initially scheduled to commence on August 1, the delay in the publication of results has affected the academic calendar. Vice Chancellor Singh said that classes for other semesters will start as scheduled on August 1. The classes for Semesters 3 and 5 of the Undergraduate programmes for the academic session 2024-24 will begin as per schedule, on August 1. Meanwhile, classes for Semesters 2 and 4 of the Undergraduate programmes are slated to be held from January 2, 2025.

The NTA is currently grappling with paper leak allegations involving NEET-UG and UGC-NET, which has delayed the CUET-UG results. The delay in the result is expected to impact admissions at several universities.

While speaking to news agency ANI, DU Vice Chancellor Yogesh Singh said, “The result has not been announced, but it will impact the academic calendar for the students for the first semester in courses where admission is through CUET-UG. The semester will likely start on August 16. For other semesters, we will start the semester on August 1.”

When asked whether the university has received any communication from the crisis-struck National Testing Agency(NTA), which conducts CUET UG, Singh said to news agency ANI, “We have not received any communication from the National Testing Agency (NTA) about the result.”

The Common University Entrance Test (CUET) is being introduced for admission into all UG Programmes in all Central Universities for Academic session 2024-25 under the Ministry of Education, (MoE). The Common University Entrance Test (CUET) will provide a common platform and equal opportunities to candidates across the country, especially those from rural and other remote areas, and help establish better connections with the Universities. In simple words, the examination serves as the primary admission test for undergra ate programs at 46 Central universities.

The National Testing Agency conducted the CUET (UG) – 2024 Examination in Hybrid mode (CBT and Pen & Paper) Mode on 15, 16, 17, 18, 21, 22, 24, and 29 May 2024 at various Examination Centers located in 379 cities including 26 cities outside India, for about 13.48 lacs candidates.

The delay in announcing the CUET-UG results will impact the admission sche les of all participating universities. DU, for instance, had planned to open its phase two admissions portal by July 2 to fill 71,000 seats based on CUET-UG scores. As lakhs of students and 261 universities, including Central universities such as DU, Allahabad University, and Banaras Hindu University (BHU), await the CUET-UG 2024 results to commence the undergraduate admission process, University Grants Commission (UGC) Chief M Jagadesh Kumar has assured that the NTA is working to announce the results as soon as possible.
