The debut edition of Common University Entrance Test (CUET)-UG for admissions in central universities concluded today with around 60 per cent attendance, according to NTA officials.

According to the initial plan, all phases of the CUET-UG were scheduled to conclude on August 20. However, some exams had to bedeferred to accommodate students in cases of glitches.

Students faced many issues in these exams, including technical glitches, last-minute change in exam centre, uninformed changes in exam dates and admit cards mentioning past dates.

With 14.9 lakh registrations, the CUET, is now the second biggest entrance exam in the country, surpassing JEE-Main’s average registration of nine lakh.

NEET-UG is the biggest entrance test in India with an average of 18 lakh registrations.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
