Will CUET 2025 Exam Be Postponed?, Tentative Date, Exam Timings & Shifts

The CUET 2025 exam may be postponed due to a few ongoing delays, including the release of the CUET UG 2025 date sheet and potential clashes with the NEET UG 2025 exam schedule. Although the NTA has already released the CUET UG 2025 city intimation slip on May 7, 2025, the date sheet has yet to be officially announced, which has led to concerns among students. Given these delays and the possibility of overlapping exam dates with NEET, the NTA might reschedule the CUET UG 2025 exam to a later date, with May 13, 2025, being the new tentative start date. Students should stay alert for official updates from the NTA

CUET UG 2025 Exam Timings & Shifts

The CUET UG 2025 exam will be conducted in multiple shifts each day to manage the large number of candidates and cuet subject combinations. The exam timings for each shift are planned to ensure smooth scheduling and administration across various centers.

Why Conducting CUET Is Challenging

The CUET UG exam involves many challenges:

• It covers 37 different subjects.

• Students can choose up to 5 subjects, leading to numerous combinations.

• The exam is being conducted in Computer-Based Test (CBT) mode only.

• It may be held in three shifts per day, which needs careful planning.

Due to the complexity, experts believe that a hybrid mode (both online and offline) could make things easier in future editions, just like in 2024. But for 2025, all papers are expected to be held in CBT mode, making arrangements more demanding.

What Should Students Do?

Even though there is no official announcement yet about the postponement of CUET UG 2025, the chances of a short delay cannot be ruled out. Students are advised to:

• Stay calm and keep preparing as per the earlier dates.

• Regularly check cuet.nta.nic.in for updates.

• Be ready for the exam from 8 May onwards, but also mentally prepare for a possible delay.
