The decision, which impacted several regions, was made as a precautionary measure following government directives under 'Operation Sindoor' to ensure the safety of candidates.

While the exam was entirely (all three shifts) postponed at centers in border cities like Jamnagar, Srinagar, Jammu, Ludhiana, Bathinda, Jalandhar, Mohali, Patiala, Amritsar, Jodhpur, Bikaner and Sriganganagar, the COMEDK decided to postpone the third shift (5:30 pm to 8:30 pm) at several other centers within the same cities.

Affected cities included New Delhi, Dehradun, Haldwani, Roorkee, as well as seven centers in Rajasthan, including Ajmer, Alwar, Bhilwara, Jaipur, Kota, Sikar, and Udaipur.
