Overview of the Delay

The Common University Entrance Test (CUET) UG 2025 results have not been released on time, triggering widespread frustration and outrage among students nationwide. Despite the exam concluding on June 4, 2025, the National Testing Agency (NTA) has not announced the official results yet, nor provided any revised timeline or official statement regarding the delay.

This has created uncertainty for more than 13.54 lakh candidates who appeared for the test, which serves as a compulsory gateway for undergraduate admissions in over 250 central, state, deemed, and private universities across India.

Impact on Educational Results and University Admissions

The unexplained postponement has caused a ripple effect across the academic ecosystem. Many universities have been forced to delay the admissions process, counselling sessions, scholarship awards, seat allotments, and even hostel accommodation allocations due to the non-availability of CUET UG scores.

The delay undermines the streamlined objective of CUET— to simplify and centralize undergraduate admissions— and has led to increased anxiety and calls for accountability from the NTA.

Official Scenario and Current Status

As of June 30, 2025, the NTA has not released an official update explaining the cause of the delay or confirming a new result release date. Additionally, the final answer key, which incorporates candidate objections, has not yet been published, further stalling the results declaration.

Historically, CUET UG results have been released between mid-July to September, but given the earlier exam schedule this year, results were widely expected by June-end. The ongoing delay contrasts with previous years’ trends:

• 2024: July 30
• 2023: July 15
• 2022: September 15

Students are advised to regularly check the official NTA website (cuet.nta.nic.in) for the latest updates.

Calls for Structural Reforms

The lack of transparency and repeated delays have intensified demands for structural reforms in national exam management. Experts and students alike urge the establishment of independent oversight mechanisms to enhance accountability and efficiency of government bodies such as the NTA.
