Academic calendar running behind schedule due to COVID-19 was a cause of concern to all of us. We made some recovery last year and this year we should be back on track since COVID-19 is no more a stumbling block and the UGC has taken several steps well in advance. This year, for instance, the CUET schedule was announced on 15 December 2022. The application process for CUET-UG will end on 31 March and the CUET-PG application process is currently open. Since CUET-UG is scheduled to be completed by 31 May and CUET-PG by the middle of June, results for both exams should be out by the end of June. Educational institutes can complete the admission process in July and academic sessions can start no later than 1 August.
