Glitch-free CUET UG 2022 on Day 5, Itanagar candidates to get another chance

On Monday, the fifth day of the Common University Entrance Test (CUET)-UG took place and it was reported to be glitch free with no issues being reported from 275 exam centres. However, in Arunachal Pradesh’s Itanagar, only three candidates could reach the two exam centres due to a landslide.

“The test was conducted in 275 centres across the country involving 64,472 registered candidates. The exam went off well in all centres in both morning and evening sessions,” UGC Chairman Jagadesh Kumar said.

“However, in two centres of Itanagar Rajiv Gandhi University and NIT where 36 and 154 candidates were scheduled to take the test, only 3 candidates could reach the centres due to a very heavy landslide. The examination of those candidates who couldn’t reach these two centres will be held in the period 24-28 August 2022,” he added, as reported by PTI.
