The release of the CUET UG 2026 City Intimation Slip on April 29, 2026, has ignited outrage among students. Many candidates found themselves assigned to examination centres that are far from their preferred locations. This unexpected allocation complicates travel arrangements for those who may have already planned based on their initial preferences.
Students are expressing their frustrations, highlighting that being assigned to distant centres imposes financial and logistical burdens. One anonymous candidate voiced a common concern: “I don’t know how a poor student like me will manage the expenses, especially in this extreme heat.” This sentiment reflects a broader anxiety among students who are now scrambling to adjust their plans.
Key facts about the CUET UG 2026:
- The examination is scheduled to take place from May 11 to May 31, 2026.
- Candidates can download their city intimation slip from the official website cuet.nta.nic.in.
- The city intimation slip does not serve as an admit card and lacks specific details such as the exact exam centre or timing.
- Students have reported being assigned distant examination centres, causing significant distress.
- The NTA will not entertain requests for rescheduling of exam dates or shifts.
The city intimation slip is intended to help candidates plan their travel arrangements in advance. However, it seems to have done the opposite for many. The National Testing Agency (NTA) emphasizes that this document should be treated as a preliminary guide rather than a definitive schedule.
Some observers note that this situation could lead to increased stress levels among candidates as they prepare for the Common University Entrance Test. The logistical challenges raised by such allocations may overshadow the focus on academic performance and preparation.
As students navigate these unexpected hurdles, they are left wondering how these changes will impact their overall experience during the examination period. With no option for rescheduling or adjustments from NTA, many face an uphill battle in managing both their travel and exam readiness.
