Since its inception, the exam (CUET UG) has been conducted in an online CBT format, but because of a delay in the admission and exam conduction processes in the year 2023, the NTA has now announced that the CUET UG will now be held in a Hybrid mode, i.e. Online/Offline mode, depending upon the registrations for any subject. In its inception year, NTA had to face a few criticisms regarding the CUET exam pattern, and keeping that in mind, a few things were modified in 2023. However, the CUET marking scheme remained the same on both occasions. The CUET 2024 exam pattern will also remain the same and not go through any further changes. The above-mentioned information can be confirmed by looking at the CUET UG Official notification.
