The Students' Islamic Organisation of India (SIO) has formally requested the National Testing Agency (NTA) to postpone the Common University Entrance Test-Undergraduate (CUET UG) scheduled for May 28, 2026, due to its overlap with Eid al-Adha, a major Muslim festival celebrated across the country. The SIO has expressed concerns that many candidates, especially those traveling from distant locations, may face challenges in travel and accommodation during this significant religious observance. They have submitted a memorandum to the NTA, urging the agency to prioritize rescheduling the exam to allow students ample time to plan their travel arrangements. The CUET UG 2026 is being conducted from May 11 to May 31, 2026, in a computer-based format for lakhs of students seeking admission to various undergraduate programs. As of now, the NTA has not released an official statement regarding the SIO's request. The CUET UG 2026 has attracted over 15,68,866 candidates, with 96.6% of those who requested changes to their exam centers successfully allocated their preferred locations.
