NTA is in the news again, failing to conduct national exams like NEET, NET, UGC, and CUET. The future of almost 5 million students is at stake. NTA’s mismanagement of these exams has been a big issue for the past few months. Here is the update on NTA CUET 2024 Result and Re-CUET Developments:
NEET and Its Consequences
NEET exam is marred by allegations of malpractice. Evidence of these irregularities has been presented and the matter is pending in the Supreme Court with the next hearing on July 18. Till the final verdict comes, students are in limbo.
CUET Issue
After ruining the future of 2.4 million NEET students, NTA has also messed up CUET for 1.3 million students. Despite the exam being conducted in 379 cities of India and 26 international cities from May 15 to May 24 and May 29 and results were supposed to be declared on June 30, the results are still not declared. Instead, NTA asked candidates to submit their objections from June 30 to July 9.
After reviewing these objections NTA decided to re-exam for around 1000 students. This has raised big questions on the integrity of the CUET exam with speculations of malpractices similar to NEET.
Allegations and Investigations
It is reported that among the 1000 students who need to reappear, 250 had their centers at OSA School in Hazaribagh, Jharkhand which was earlier involved in the NEET paper leak. The school’s principal is already under CBI investigation which has raised more questions on widespread malpractices.

Academic Sessions
The delay in results has affected various universities’ academic sessions, including Delhi University and Jawaharlal Nehru University. For example, Delhi University has postponed its academic session from August 1 to August 16 due to delayed results. This is not limited to Delhi University but has affected other central universities as well.
Political and Public Reaction
The NTA’s exam fiasco has led to protests and political backlash. Congress has slammed the government and raised questions on the effectiveness and transparency of the National Recruitment Agency (NRA) which has not conducted a single exam in the past 4 years despite getting huge funds.
Conclusion
NTA’s repeated failures in conducting big national exams have created a huge trust deficit among students and parents. The impact on students’ future and academic schedules is huge and many are opting for private institutions. The Supreme Court’s hearing and the government’s review of the NTA will be crucial to decide the future of these exams and the NTA itself.
The situation remains fluid, and stakeholders are eagerly awaiting further developments and resolutions to these pressing issues.
