The Common University Entrance Test (CUET) UG 2022 that was scheduled to be held today, August 23, has been postponed due to clash with CBSE compartment exams. The class 12 compartment exams are being held today for a duration of two hours — from 10:30 am to 12:30 pm. The new exam date will be announced soon.
