Earlier, on February 22, UGC Chairman M Jagadesh Kumar told PTI that normalisation of scores for the CUET-UG is likely to be done away with this year, with the NTA planning a rejig of the crucial exam for its third edition.

The CUET exam is likely to be conducted in a shorter duration as the NTA is contemplating a hybrid mode, including OMR sheets and a computer-based test. The move will also ensure that most of the students get a chance to take the exam in a city of their choice.

“For the last two years, we had to conduct the test for the same paper over two or three days in our endeavour to provide the first-choice centre to the students as much as possible. But this year, by adopting the OMR mode, a large number of centres will be available at schools and colleges, enabling us to conduct the test across the country on the same day. If the test is conducted on multiple days for the same paper, normalisation is required and it is a scientific method,” the UGC chairman said.
