The release of the CUET UG 2026 City Intimation Slip on April 29, 2026, has sparked outrage among students. Many candidates have been assigned examination centres that are significantly distant from their preferred locations, complicating their travel arrangements.
The CUET UG examination is scheduled from May 11 to May 31, 2026. Students can download their city intimation slips from the official website cuet.nta.nic.in. However, it is important to note that this slip does not serve as an admit card and lacks crucial details such as the exact exam centre or the date and time of the exam.
Students have reported being allocated centres far from their selected locations—often up to several hours away. This situation places a financial burden on many, particularly those from lower-income backgrounds. One anonymous candidate expressed concern, saying, “I don’t know how a poor student like me will manage the expenses, especially in this extreme heat.”
Despite these complaints, the National Testing Agency (NTA) has stated that they will not entertain requests for rescheduling exam dates or shifts. The city intimation slip is intended to help candidates plan their travel arrangements ahead of time but has instead led to confusion and frustration.
Key facts:
- The CUET UG examination takes place over a three-week period.
- Candidates can select up to four locations in their application.
- The city intimation slip should be treated as a preliminary document.
Officials have reiterated that the city intimation slip plays a role in helping students avoid last-minute confusion regarding logistics for the examination. However, many feel it falls short of addressing their needs adequately.
