NEW DELHI: Many students who appeared for the second session of the Common University Entrance Test (CUET) on August 5 reported receiving the psychology question paper instead of sociology that they had opted for. They said they were under tremendous pressure because they had to appear for a paper that wasn’t one of the domain papers that they had chosen.
Stating that they were worried about missing out on admissions in DU if their CUET marks were affected by this, Anurag Meena, who had his exam at Nalanda Modern Public School in Burari in north Delhi, said, “When we informed the invigilators about getting the psychology question paper instead of sociology, they said we had to inform the National Testing Agency (NTA) and that the invigilators could do nothing about it. They then asked us to attempt the paper as that was better than scoring nothing. I haven’t studied psychology in school and just answered randomly. I am interested in pursuing a sociology degree from DU, but my entrance marks now are uncertain.”
