The National Testing Agency (NTA) and the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) are under scrutiny for their management of major examinations, particularly the CUET-UG 2026. This exam faced numerous issues, including technical glitches that delayed tests for hours, leaving many students unable to finish. The subsequent offer of a re-test has been criticized as it adds to the stress and anxiety students already face after months of preparation. The recurring problems, such as paper leaks and poor communication, highlight significant flaws in the planning and execution of these exams. Critics argue that these issues suggest a deeper systemic failure rather than isolated incidents. Students, who dedicate significant time and effort to prepare for these exams, are feeling betrayed by institutions that should support their success. The ongoing challenges raise serious concerns about the trustworthiness and reliability of the exam systems, which are essential for measuring talent and merit fairly.
