In recent years, the National Testing Agency has sometimes not released a consolidated CUET UG datesheet.
Instead, candidates receive their exam dates and shift details through the advance city intimation slip. The slip informs candidates about the exam city and tentative schedule, while the admit card later confirms the exact exam date and slot.
