After technical glitches were reported on the University Grants Commission (UGC) website for students filling the application form for the UGC-NET exam, a similar case has been reported by students trying to register for Central Universities Entrance Test for Undergraduate courses (CUET-UG). Many students have expressed that due to technical glitches in the website, they have been unable to complete the application process for the entrance test. Several students have taken to Twitter to request that the deadline for the application be extended.

It has been ascertained by the UGC that a total of 11,51,319 candidates have registered for CUET-UG, but only 9,13,540 have completed the application process. Some students complained online on Twitter that they received the OTP very late (for some it was almost a day later) and, hence, could not complete their application before the deadline. An OTP is required for verification of the mobile number. Meanwhile, some students have said that they faced issues while trying to make the payment. There have also been complaints about glitches during the filling up of the application form.
