The Common University Entrance Test (CUET) UG 2026, conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA), is a major entrance exam for undergraduate admissions to central, state, deemed, private, and other participating universities across India. The exam is held in Computer-Based Test (CBT) mode across multiple subjects and languages.
Key Highlights & Live Updates (as of March 13, 2026):
Tentative Exam Window: The CUET UG 2026 exams are scheduled tentatively from May 11 to May 31, 2026, as per the official NTA Information Bulletin (released January 2026).
Subject-Wise Datesheet & Slot Timings: Not yet released. NTA is expected to announce the detailed subject-wise schedule, including exact dates for each of the 37+ subjects (e.g., languages, domain-specific like Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, Accountancy, etc.), shift timings (multiple shifts per day), and other instructions soon — likely in late March, early April, or around the second week of April 2026. Reliable sources (Shiksha, Times of India, Economic Times, Testbook, Vedantu, etc.) indicate an imminent release on the official portal.
How the Schedule Works: Unlike a single fixed datesheet, CUET UG assigns specific exam dates and shifts to candidates based on their chosen subjects. Candidates will check their individual subject-wise exam date and slot via:
City Intimation Slip (expected in late April or early May 2026).
Admit Card (expected in the first or second week of May 2026).
Official Status: No detailed datesheet is available yet on the NTA website. The site shows the registration portal (re-opened in some phases) and general notices, but the full schedule is pending. Monitor the "Latest News" or "Downloads" section for the PDF release.
Exam Pattern Quick Note: Each test paper is 60 minutes long; candidates can choose up to 5 subjects (including languages and General Aptitude Test). The exam will run in multiple shifts daily over the window period.
