CUET UG Result 2024: The commencement of the semester for first-year students at Delhi University (DU) is expected to be delayed to August 16, as Vice Chancellor Yogesh Singh announced on Saturday, citing a delay in the release of the Central University Entrance Test (CUET-UG) results.

Initially planned to commence on August 1, the delay in result publication has disrupted the academic schedule. Vice Chancellor Singh stated that classes for other semesters will proceed as scheduled on August 1.

"The result has not been announced, but it will impact the academic calendar for the students for the first semester in courses where admission is through CUET-UG. The semester will likely start on August 16. For other semesters, we will start the semester on August 1," DU Vice Chancellor Yogesh Singh said, as reported by news agency ANI.

When asked whether the university has received any communication from the crisis-struck National Testing Agency (NTA), which conducts CUET UG, Singh said: "We have not received any communication from the National Testing Agency (NTA) about the result."

The CUET-UG results initially slated for release on June 30, have not been announced as scheduled. The NTA is currently grappling with paper leak allegations involving NEET-UG and UGC-NET, which has delayed the CUET-UG results.

This delay is significant because the CUET-UG results are essential for securing admission to prominent universities such as Delhi University (DU) and Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) in the national capital, as well as other Central universities. The CUET-UG is the primary admission test for undergraduate programs at 46 Central universities. This year's exam was held from May 15 to May 31 in both online and pen-and-paper formats.

As lakhs of students and 261 universities, including institutions like Allahabad University and Banaras Hindu University (BHU), await the CUET-UG 2024 results to initiate the undergraduate admission process, University Grants Commission (UGC) Chief M Jagadesh Kumar has assured students that the NTA is making every effort to announce the results as soon as possible.
