Arunachal Education Minister urges Centre to increase CUET exam centres across state

Itanagar, May 23 (UNI) In a significant move to promote equitable access to higher education in the state, Arunachal Pradesh Education Minister Pasang Dorjee Sona has written to Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, drawing attention to the severe logistical challenges faced by students due to the limited number of Common University Entrance Test (CUET) examination centres in the Northeastern state.
Currently, CUET is conducted at only four centres—NIT Arunachal Pradesh, Jote; NERIST Nirjuli; Rajiv Gandhi University, Doimukh; and iON Digital Zone, Naharlagun—all located in and around the state capital, Itanagar. While these centres are important, the Minister noted that they are inadequate to serve the diverse student population, particularly those from remote and hilly regions of Arunachal Pradesh.
To address the issue, Minister Sona has formally requested the Ministry of Education for establishment of at least four new CUET centres in Pasighat (East Siang), Bomdila (West Kameng), Tezu (Lohit), and Aalo (West Siang). These locations, he emphasized, would ease travel burdens
