The National Testing Agency (NTA) has shared revised timings for the CUET (UG) 2026 exam after a technical problem caused delays at some exam centres on May 30, 2026.
CUET (Common University Entrance Test) is a national-level exam conducted by NTA for students who want admission into undergraduate and postgraduate courses in central, state, and private universities across India.
According to NTA, the delay happened due to a technical glitch reported by TCS at certain centres. However, the issue has now been fixed, and the exam is being conducted smoothly. The agency also confirmed that students will be given full extra time so that no one is affected because of the delay.
Revised Exam Timing (Afternoon Session)
Entry and reporting time: From 2:30 PM
Exam start time: 4:00 PM (earlier it was 3:00 PM)
For those sitting the morning session, NTA has said students are being allowed to finish the complete duration of their exam. No one’s being asked to leave early.
NTA has also apologised to students and parents for the inconvenience.

This isn’t the first reshuffle. Earlier, NTA had already moved some CUET UG 2026 dates around because of Eid-ul-Azha. Exams originally scheduled for May 28 were shifted. They’ll now be held on:
May 31
June 6
June 7
