CUET UG 2025: NTA Revises Accountancy Paper Pattern, Offers Re-Test Option to Affected Candidates
In a significant mid-exam development, the National Testing Agency (NTA) has revised the Accountancy question paper pattern for the Common University Entrance Test (CUET) UG 2025. This update aims to bring better alignment between the notified syllabus and the design of the question paper, and it will impact both future and already-tested candidates.
What’s Changing in the CUET Accountancy Exam?
Starting May 22, 2025, the revised pattern will be implemented for the Accountancy paper. Under the new structure:
- Students can choose between questions from Unit 5 or an optional alternative to Unit 5.
- Content from Units 1 to 4 remains unchanged and will continue to be part of the test.
This change comes mid-way through the CUET UG 2025 exam cycle, which began on May 13 and will continue until June 3.
Re-Test Option for Early Test-Takers
In a move to ensure fairness and equity, the NTA has announced that candidates who took the Accountancy test between May 13 and 16 will be offered a choice:
- Retain their original exam result, or
- Opt to reappear for the Accountancy exam with the revised question paper pattern
NTA has assured that this re-test option will be made available via its official websites, and further details, including re-test dates and procedures, are expected shortly.
