The NTA conducted the CUET UG 2024 in a hybrid mode on May 15, 16, 17, 18, 21, 22, 24, and 29 across various centers in 379 cities, including 26 international locations. A re-exam for the CUET 2024 was held on July 19. The provisional answer key was published on July 7, with an objection window open until July 9.
Out of the total 1,347,820 registered candidates, 1,113,610 appeared for the CUET 2024 exam. Specifically:
The General (Unreserved) category had the highest number of absentees, while the EWS category had the lowest. The detailed category-wise attendance is as follows:
| Category | Registered | Appeared | Absentees |
|---|---|---|---|
| EWS | 88,324 | 74,980 | 13,344 |
| General, Unreserved | 543,996 | 448,908 | 95,088 |
| OBC-NCL | 482,552 | 399,945 | 82,607 |
| SC | 144,851 | 119,164 | 25,687 |
| ST | 88,097 | 70,613 | 17,484 |
| Total | 1,347,820 | 1,113,610 | 234,210 |
The significant number of absentees from the General category raises questions about accessibility and other potential barriers. Additionally, the higher attendance rate in other categories may reflect varying degrees of support and motivation among different groups.
The NTA’s efforts to ensure a smooth examination process, despite the challenges, are commendable. However, understanding the reasons behind the high absenteeism, particularly in the General category, could help improve future exam conduct and participation.
As the CUET UG 2024 results are now available, candidates can calculate their probable scores and proceed with their academic plans. The NTA continues to play a crucial role in streamlining entrance exams for higher education in India, aiming for inclusivity and fairness in the process. The attendance data provides valuable insights that can help in refining future strategies to ensure higher participation and success rates across all categories.
