Since students write multiple tests, the above is equal to handling 2591014 students daily. This constitutes 44.71% of the total scheduled slots for students registered in pen-and-paper mode. 
"This is a landmark achievement by NTA in conducting CUET-UG in such large numbers on a single day, and NTA deserves kudos for their careful planning and for making sure that the test today went off well at such a large scale in pen and paper mode," said M Jagadesh Kumar, Chairman UGC.

The tests in four papers scheduled in 258 centers in Delhi on May 15, postponed to May 29. The postponed date is only for Delhi centers. This postponement was necessitated due to some logistical issues beyond the control of NTA. Fresh admission cards will be issued to the students in Delhi.
