The CUET UG 2026 rescheduled examination sessions concluded today, June 7, 2026, with the final batch of 3,756 affected candidates completing their papers at designated centres across India. These students had been unable to appear on May 30 due to the TCS iON server failure. The two-day rescheduled window on June 6 and June 7 has successfully completed the CUET UG 2026 examination cycle across all remaining candidates.
With the rescheduled sessions now concluded, the NTA’s next step is to release the provisional answer key and open the answer key challenge window in the second week of June 2026.
