The CUET-UG results were originally scheduled to be released on June 30. However, due to identified errors in the CUET-UG answer key, the National Testing Agency (NTA) has announced a re-test for affected applicants on July 19. Following the re-test, the final answer key will be published, after which the results will be declared.
Thousands of students are waiting for admission to UG courses in universities such as Jamia Millia Islamia, DU, JNU and Ambedkar University. The delay in starting the academic session could compel the campuses to tweak their academic calendars.
TOI spoke to some prominent universities regarding the delay in their academic session. Delhi University registrar Vikas Gupta said that he was hoping the results would not be too delayed. "Till now, we are only hoping that there will be a delay of not more than 10 days in the academic session of DU. If the delay is not more, then we will try to take extra classes and make up for the time lost in the academic session."
Vice-chancellor of Ambedkar University Anu Singh Lather said that at the university admits students for 27 programs. “There is likely to be a fortnight’s delay in our academic session, which we can cover by taking up classes on Saturdays and Sundays. But if the delay in increases, then we will think of cutting the winter break for covering the courses. It only depends on how long the delay is, and based on that, we will make arrangements."
At Jamia, admissions through CUET are done for 15 UG courses. A university official said: “We have started the admission process for other courses, but only the 15 courses for which we take admissions through CUET are delayed. There will be some alterations in the academic session due to this delay. We are soon going to have a meeting with the deans to see what kind of changes we are likely to make."
At JNU, admissions are only done for undergraduate programs in the School of Language. A university official said: "We are prepared for the delay. Considering the delay, we will then shorten the vacations to get the academic session on track."
Meanwhile, the Jawaharlal Nehru University Teachers Association said they were opposed to the suggestion from a senior official to schedule extra classes on Saturdays and shorten the winter vacation to make up for the lost time due to the delayed announcement of CUET results.
