SHILLONG:
Days after students from Meghalaya were allocated CUET centres in other parts of the country, the State government, on June 14, sought the intervention of the Union Ministry of Education to make alternative arrangements for them given the short period to make necessary arrangements for travel and accommodation to other States.
In a letter to Union Minister of Education Dharmendra Pradhan, Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma said, “I would like to draw your attention that the State Government has received numerous complaints from students of Meghalaya on the allocation of CUET centres outside the State of Meghalaya, such as Ranchi, Jharkhand, Jorhat, Dibrugarh, Kolkata and other southern states of India which has left the students and their parents in disbelief and dismay and also has caused significant inconvenience and logistical challenges for the students, who were already preparing for the examination under the assumption that the centres would be allocated closer to their home.”
The letter further stated that the students were issued admit in the morning of June 14, and the exam is slated for June 16, and such arrangements made by the NTA have deprived the students of opportunity to pursue their education in other central universities located in different parts of the country.
It may be mentioned that the state had earlier requested the NTA to set up the CUET centres in all l2 (twelve) Districts of Meghalaya in institutions which are having adequate infrastructure and testing facilities for CUET examination.
