Overview
- The National Testing Agency said it held rescheduled CUET‑PG sittings only for 565 candidates who missed their original tests due to law‑and‑order trouble in Tura, Meghalaya and security issues at some overseas centres.
- Those 565 candidates took exams on March 29–30, 2026 using question papers that were prepared and certified in advance by subject experts as equivalent in difficulty to the main papers.
- NTA confirmed on June 13 that no score normalisation was applied to any CUET‑PG 2026 candidate because the exam reports absolute marks for every subject and every candidate.
- The agency argued statistical normalisation would be invalid given the scale gap between groups, citing examples such as roughly 16,000 main‑exam English candidates versus about 120 in the rescheduled sitting.
- NTA framed the clarification as a response to social media queries and said the reschedule was a candidate‑welfare measure that did not change how scores were computed or reported.
