The NTA faces backlash over alleged false answers in the CUET-UG 2024 answer keys. Candidates can challenge the answers online for Rs 200 each. Valid complaints

Many applicants have claimed that the answers in the answer keys released by the National Testing Agency (NTA) are false. The Common University Entrance Test (CUET)-UG was taken on Monday, and after the NTA released the answer keys, complaints were made.

If any complaints are deemed valid, the NTA will retest the candidates from July 15 to July 19. Candidates can now contest the answers online by paying Rs 200 for each answer.

Challenges made by the candidates will be verified by a panel of subject experts, and the result will be declared based on the revised final answer key. The delay in CUET-UG results comes amid a raging row over alleged irregularities in competitive exams, including NEET and NET.

The CUET-UG exam conducted in a hybrid mode for the first time across the country was cancelled in Delhi a night before the exam, citing logistical reasons. The exam was conducted in the national capital later.

The NTA announced that the third edition of CUET-UG will be completed in seven days and there will be no normalization of scores as all exams will be conducted in a single shift.

Over 13.4 lakh candidates registered for the common entrance test for admission to undergraduate courses in 261 central, state, deemed, and private universities this year. In the first edition of the exam in 2022, the test was plagued by technical glitches and had to be normalized during the announcement of results.
