CUET (UG) 2025: Exams Scheduled on 14th May Cancelled for Both Shifts at Srinagar Centre Due to Technical Issues
Srinagar/New Delhi | 14 May 2025:
In an important update for CUET (UG) 2025 candidates, the National Testing Agency (NTA) has issued a second public notice announcing the cancellation of both Shift I and Shift II examinations scheduled on 14th May 2025 at the Kite Polytechnic centre, located in Vawoosa, Rangreth, Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir (PIN: 190007).
This cancellation affects all candidates who were scheduled to appear for the test at this center on 14.05.2025, as the examination in CBT (Computer-Based Test) mode could not be conducted due to technical issues at the centre.
Scope of the Cancellation
This is the second notification of disruption at the Kite Polytechnic centre. Previously, the NTA had cancelled the CUET (UG) 2025 exam held on 13 May 2025 (Shift II) for 76 candidates at the same venue due to similar technical glitches.
The latest notice confirms that both Shift I and Shift II on 14 May 2025 are also affected, thereby impacting a larger group of students. The exact number of candidates affected by this latest cancellation has not yet been disclosed.
Reasons Behind the Cancellation
The NTA cited technical issues at the exam centre as the primary reason behind the cancellation. While no specific technical malfunction has been detailed, such issues typically include power failures, server errors, or software disruptions that prevent smooth conduct of CBT-based exams.
The NTA emphasized its commitment to conducting fair and seamless examinations, and hence chose to cancel the sessions rather than compromise exam integrity.
Next Steps for Affected Candidates
The NTA has assured all affected candidates that:
- The examination will be rescheduled and new dates will be announced soon.
- Fresh admit cards will be issued to candidates before the rescheduled exam.
Candidates are advised to keep a regular check on the following official websites for updates:

Impact on Candidates and Concern Among Students
The back-to-back cancellations at the same center have raised concerns among candidates and parents regarding the preparedness of exam centers in remote areas. Many students expressed worry about overlapping exam schedules, travel arrangements, and psychological stress due to repeated disruptions.
Students are now anxiously awaiting the announcement of new exam dates to realign their preparation plans.
