NEW DELHI: National Testing Agency has offered a retest for students who took the accountancy paper between May 13 and May 16 in the ongoing CUET-UG exams, after it was found that the exam paper included out-of-syllabus questions. The decision, disclosed in a public notice Monday, is the latest in a series of setbacks that have plagued this year's undergraduate entrance test.
Acknowledging the discrepancy, NTA stated: "To achieve convergence between the notified syllabus and the design of the question paper, the accountancy paper will now include an option (to choose between questions from 'Unit V' or 'Optional to Unit V')", adding that this revised format would roll out from May 22.
Fiasco latest in series of crises to have hit CUET-UG 2025
T his move (to choose between questions) marks a deviation from the pattern introduced this year, where all questions in CUET-UG papers were made mandatory, requiring students to attempt all 50 questions instead of choosing 40 out of 50, as in the previous editions. With this change now applying only to the accountancy paper, concerns are emerging about uniformity and standardisation of the test. So far, seven accountancy sessions have already been held and 13 remain, as per the original schedule.
Candidates who took the exam between May 13 and 16 will be given the option to either retain their earlier score or appear for the revised version. “NTA will provide this option to eligible candidates through its official website. Further details in this regard will be announced soon,” the notice said. Accountancy fiasco is the latest in a series of challenges CUET-UG 2025 has faced. The exam began on a shaky note after being postponed from its original May 8 date due to logistical unpreparedness.
