The National Testing Agency (NTA) clarified that 565 candidates for CUET PG 2026 were rescheduled to March 29-30 due to law-and-order disruptions in Meghalaya and security issues at some overseas centres. This rescheduling was a welfare measure to ensure fairness. NTA emphasized that no score normalisation was applied; all candidates, including those in rescheduled exams, were evaluated using an absolute marks system with identical scoring methods across all subjects and sittings.
