The Hynniewtrep Youth Council (HYC) Education Cell NEHU Unit today submitted a memorandum to the office of the minister in-charge of education to demand for setting up of more centers for the Common University Entrance Test (CUET) exams in Meghalaya.
In a letter, the HYC informed that many students are facing difficulties in appearing for the CUET examinations due to the unavailability of centers in the state which compel the students of the state who are seeking admission for UG and PG courses to travel to Guwahati for attending the entrance examinations.
“It is a fact that students are in the state of distress and hardship as they have to encounter various issues while travelling to Guwahati which entails high cost travel expenditure beside a long distance journey” said the letter.
In this regard, the HYC demanded and stressed upon the Government of Meghalaya to explore the possibility of setting up more centres of the CUET within the state for students required for appearing in the entrance examination for the purpose to resolve this vexed issue being encountered by the students of the state.
