Majaz isn’t alone. Tafazul Ahmad Bhat from Kashmir’s Budgam district has been assigned a CUET exam centre 429 km away in Jalandhar, Punjab. “For students like me who don’t have the resources to travel far, how will I give the exam?” asked Ahmad who had sought centres in Srinagar and Baramulla.

The CUET advance city intimation slip 2023 were issued by the NTA at cuet.samarth.ac.in in two sets – on May 14 for the exams on May 21 to 24 and the second set on May 17 for exams on May 25-28 . The CUET advance city intimation slip is not the same as the CUET admit card which will be issued three days before the exams. The city intimation slip merely tells the candidates where the CUET exam centre will be. The CUET UG exam is scheduled for May 21, 22, 23 and 24 and further on June 1, 2, 5 and 6. NTA has also kept a few buffer dates of June 7 and 8.

CUET 2023 Exam City: ‘Difficult to travel’

Majaz secured 90% in this year’s class 12 board exam and has applied for BSc in Biotechnology at Jamia Millia Islamia University in Delhi, BSc in Botany at Cluster University of Srinagar and integrated BSc-Msc in Central University of Kashmir. Even for admission to universities in her own state, she had to go to another one to write the exam.

“Many students across Kashmir have received their CUET 2023 exam centres in a different state to which it is difficult for many to travel. We demand that the examination must be held in Kashmir so that we can give exams properly without much travel,” said Bhat.

Many students have taken to social media platforms to appeal to the NTA.
