NTA secretly held a second CUET PG exam shift?

checkthis · automated fact-check · How we check · Reel by @marketswithkratik

The Reel correctly points out that the NTA held unannounced CUET PG exams on March 29 and 30, after the official schedule had ended. However, it leaves out the NTA's explanation that this was a targeted re-exam for 565 specific candidates who missed their tests due to law-and-order disruptions in Meghalaya and security issues overseas, and that no score normalization was applied.

The trick: Picks only some facts

It shows the facts that fit and leaves out those that don't (known as cherry-picking).

“CUET PG 2026 के लिए NTA ने notification निकाला था कि exam 6 March से 27th March के बीच होंगे। कहीं भी कोई second shift का mention ही नहीं था। students ने exam दिया, result का wait किया और फिर अचानक answer key release…”

The Reel presents the unannounced re-exam as a suspicious general 'second shift', omitting NTA's clarification that it was a targeted welfare measure for 565 specific students affected by local disruptions.
