Notably, many candidates preparing for the Common University Entrance Test (CUET) have expressed their dissatisfaction with the NTA for assigning examination centers outside of Jammu and Kashmir, contrary to their preferences.

The candidates stated that their preferred examination centers were changed from locations in Jammu and Kashmir to other states by the NTA, the agency responsible for conducting the exam.

Previously, a group of NET aspirants from the previous session also claimed that they were unable to take the entrance test due to the examination conducting agency’s decision to change their preferred venues from Jammu and Kashmir to other states.
