Apart from this, the New admit cards were also issued for the affected candidates.
But many students taking the CUET UG 2026 exam have raised concerns that the new exam dates announced by NTA are clashing with other national-level entrance exams. Candidates are now requesting the agency to review the new schedule and release a revised schedule for the CUET UG 2026 again, so that they do not face any kind of issue. The detailed information about the CUET UG New Exam Dates Clashing is given below.
What do students say about CUET UG 2026 revised dates clashing with other exams?
