CUET UG 2025 result delay sparks nationwide anger, demands grow for overhaul of NTA
As thousands of students continue to await the CUET UG 2025 results , frustration is boiling over into a larger outcry against the National Testing Agency (NTA) — with many questioning not just the delay, but the overall credibility and accountability of India's central exam body. The Common University Entrance Test for Undergraduates, launched as a transformative step to streamline admissions to over 250 central, state, and private universities, now stands at the centre of controversy due to the lack of a declared result date and no official update from the NTA, reported ToI. Mounting criticism over silence, mismanagement Students and educators have taken to social media to express growing distrust in the NTA, citing bureaucratic opacity, technical mismanagement, and lack of communication. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Health: Over-40s are snapping up the new indestructible military smartwatch Indestructible Smartwatch Undo On X, formerly Twitter, user @TejasvaShukla posted: 'Shut down NTA. This institution has failed lakhs of students. And it continues to function without accountability.' Live Events — TejasvaShukla (@TejasvaShukla) Similarly, Garvit Sethi, another user, criticised the agency for 'repeated failures' in multiple exams including CUET, NEET, and UGC-NET, pointing out issues ranging from faulty answer keys and last-minute exam rescheduling to glitches during test administration. He echoed growing sentiment that if the NTA 'can't function transparently and responsibly, it should not function at all.' — garvit_sethii (@garvit_sethii) Another student, Shipra S, wrote on X about the agency's helpline remaining unresponsive during critical times, a complaint many CUET aspirants have raised over the past week. — ShipraS9 (@ShipraS9) Admission calendars disrupted, universities in limbo The delay in results has also disrupted the academic timelines of several universities. With admissions, hostel allocations, and scholarship processes on hold, institutions are unable to begin counselling until the final scores are released. Administrative officials at several universities have expressed concern that if the delay stretches further, it could compress or derail the entire academic calendar for undergraduate admissions in 2025. As of Monday, the NTA has not issued any explanation or updated schedule for the release of the final answer key or CUET UG 2025 results. The lack of clarity has fuelled calls for urgent structural reforms, including proposals for independent oversight of national-level examination bodies. Some educators have also weighed in on the need to revisit the centralisation of entrance exams like CUET, which were meant to make admissions more equitable but now face criticism for becoming stress-inducing and logistically unreliable. Once announced, students will be able to access their results via the NTA's official website — but until then, the uncertainty continues.

Special court grants bail to 2 men booked by CBI for defrauding NEET UG 2025 aspirants
A special court has granted bail to two individuals arrested by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) for allegedly being involved in defrauding aspiring NEET candidates by falsely promising to manipulate their NEET UG 2025 scores in exchange of money. The accused — Sandeep Jawahar Shah, a resident of Solapur, and Salim Khubbuddin Patel, a resident of Navi Mumbai — were arrested in Mumbai and Sangli earlier this month. As per the CBI, it discovered that the two were involved in duping NEET candidates and their parents by falsely claiming to have connections with officials of the National Testing Agency (NTA) that conducts the examination. As per the CBI, Shah initially demanded Rs 90 lakh from each candidate and agreed to accept Rs 87.5 lakh per candidate. The central agency claimed that Shah and Patel would assure candidates that they would receive details of their purportedly increased marks six hours before the official declaration of results. The accused sought to be released on bail on the grounds that probe was completed and their custodial interrogation was not required. The pleas claimed that there was no recovery at the instance of the applicants and they'll co-operate with the trial after being released on bail. The CBI, however, opposed the pleas stating that the same be rejected as there other accused persons are yet to be arrested and therefore the custodial interrogation of present applicants would be required. However, special judge VP Desai observed that till date (on June 21) 'the investigating officer has nothing concrete to show that till what period the other accused will be arrested'. Merely because the other accused persons are yet to be arrested cannot be a ground for rejection of the bail, the judge added. The court further noted that offence under section 7(A) of Prevention of the Corruption (PC) Act is not punishable in imprisonment of life or death AND punishment prescribed is not less than three years but will extend to seven years. 'Nothing is brought on record against the applicant that he will not be available for trial. Hence discretion in the nature of bail can be exercised in the favour of applicants,' the court held and granted bail to the two on furnishing personal bond of Rs 50,000 each along with other terms and conditions.
