3Why Was the CUET UG 2026 Exam on 28 May Postponed?
Sr.TypeText
1paragraphNTA postponed the CUET UG 2026 exam scheduled on 28 May 2026 because the central government revised the Id‑ul‑Zuha (Bakrid) holiday date based on the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) communication. To avoid any clash with the revised holiday and to ensure smooth conduct of the examination across centers, NTA decided to reschedule that day’s papers.
2paragraphAt the time of postponement, NTA had clearly mentioned that revised dates would be notified separately through the official website and public notices. The updated CUET UG 2026 exam calendar now confirms that the postponed 28 May exam will be conducted on 31 May 2026.
