The Uttar Pradesh Combined Entrance Test (UPCET) 2021 exam that was scheduled to be held on June 15 has been postponed again due to the rise in the number of Covid19 cases. The final date for holding the exams is not decided yet and will be announced later. This is the second time that the exam is being postponed. It was first scheduled to be held in May.
“Representations are being received from candidates seeking extension of the last date for submission of online applications forms for the exam, on account of difficulties being experienced by them due to COVID-19 and the disruptions caused by it,” the National Testing Agency (NTA) – the exam organising body said in an official notice.

Candidates, however, will get a window to make corrections in their application forms between June 2 to June 6, 2021.
