3 new CUET-UG centres in Shillong

Shillong: Three new centres have been set up in the state capital for the smooth conduct of the Common University Entrance Test (CUET-UG) 2025.

The new centres which have been on-boarded in Shillong are: St Mary's Higher Secondary School — 70 computer nodes, Shillong College — 100 computer nodes and Shillong ITI — 29 computer nodes.

Informing about the development on Friday, commissioner & secretary in-charge education Vijay Kumar Mantri said, "The State Government has been in constant coordination with the National Testing Agency (NTA) to increase the number of examination centres for this computer-based test. NTA has been responsive to the situation and is working closely with the State to ensure smooth implementation." He added, "These additional centres have allowed for the reallocation of students who were previously assigned to distant examination venues".

According to the latest information received from NTA, a total of 11,309 candidates are scheduled to appear for the exam starting May 19. Of these, only 1,376 candidates are assigned to centres in Guwahati; the remaining candidates are now scheduled at centres within Meghalaya.
