With the NTA conducting a re-test of CUET UG for over a thousand candidates on July 19, the declaration of the results of the results have been delayed which has further delayed the admission process at the central universities and other participating institutes across the country. A total of 261 universities across the country will be accepting the CUET UG scores for admitting stuents.
Due to this delay in the admission process, Delhi University and Jawaharlal Nehru University plans to hold weekend classes and might also decide to shorten the winter break, according to a PTI report.
The result of the exam, originally scheduled to be released on June 30, has not been declared yet. The final answer key of the exam has also not been released by the NTA.
A senior JNU official said that a delay in the declaration of results will impact the university's plan to release a unified academic calendar for all the batches of students.
"JNU had planned to release an unified academic calendar for all the batches from this year onwards to bring symmetry in the admission process. The practice was discontinued due to the challenges faced during the COVID-19 pandemic. Things will become clear once the result dates are announced," the official said to PTI.
Ambedkar University will also be following the same line of taking extra classes in the evening and weekends and have fewer holidays to cover up for the delay if required, said Vice Chancellor Anu Singh Lather.
"There would be a delay of about two weeks or so due to the re-test. I don't think that is much of a time and can easily be compensated with some extra classes," she said.
"Originally, the session was supposed to start from August 1 for first year students and but if the results are not announced in the next two weeks, we will hold extra classes for them in the evening after regular classes on weekends and also reduce the number of holidays to cover up," she added.
At Delhi University, officials said that academic calender of first-year students to end at a later date than scheduled due to this delay.
The schedule for the rest of the students will remain as usual with their classes scheduled to begin from August 1, said DU's registrar Vikas Gupta.
