Students and parents argued with the exam centres on the sudden cancellation of the CUET 2022 Phase 2 exam on Day 1. Some students argued that they had travelled a long distance to reach the exam centre just to know the exam was cancelled. One of the students Priyanshu who was at an exam centre in Varanasi indicated that his exam scheduled on August 4 is now pushed to August 12 without any prior notice. The student further explained that he spent a high amount on travelling charges at the last minute which has gone wasted.
NTA is being criticized for irregularities in conducting the entrance exams this year. For instance, Phase 2 admit card of CUET 2022 was released 2 days before the exam which hampered the travelling plans of students. On the other hand, the link to change the exam centre for students whose exam is clashing with MHT CET and BITSAT is not yet activated.
