CUET UG 2026 City Intimation Slip Causes Outrage

The release of the CUET UG 2026 City Intimation Slip on April 29, 2026, has sparked outrage among students. Many candidates received assignments to examination centres far from their preferred locations, raising concerns about travel arrangements and financial burdens.

Students have expressed frustration over the allocation of exam centres. Reports indicate that some candidates were assigned to distant locations such as Mohali and Agra, despite selecting closer options like Delhi and Jaipur in their applications.

Key facts:

• The CUET UG examination is scheduled from May 11 to May 31, 2026.
• Candidates can download their city intimation slip from cuet.nta.nic.in.
• The slip does not serve as an admit card and lacks details about the exact exam centre or timing.

One anonymous candidate said, “I don’t know how a poor student like me will manage the expenses, especially in this extreme heat.” Many students share similar sentiments regarding the financial strain imposed by long-distance travel.

The National Testing Agency (NTA) has advised candidates to treat the city intimation slip as a preliminary document. The NTA will not entertain requests for rescheduling exam dates or shifts.

Officials state that the city intimation slip helps candidates plan travel arrangements ahead of time. Yet, many feel that it complicates rather than simplifies their preparations for the Common University Entrance Test.
