CUET UG 2026 Registration Opens: NTA Invites Applications for Undergraduate Admissions

The National Testing Agency (NTA) has officially opened the registration process for the Common University Entrance Test – Undergraduate (CUET UG) 2026, marking the beginning of the admission cycle for undergraduate programmes across central, state, deemed, and private universities in India. Eligible candidates can now submit their applications online through the official website cuet.nta.nic.in.

CUET UG has become a key national-level entrance examination, providing students with a single-window opportunity to seek admission into multiple universities across the country. With the registration process now underway, aspirants planning to pursue higher education after Class 12 are advised to carefully review the eligibility criteria and application guidelines before applying.

How to Apply for CUET UG 2026

Candidates must visit the official NTA CUET website and complete the registration process by creating a new account using valid personal details. After registration, applicants are required to fill in the application form, select their preferred subjects and universities, upload necessary documents, and pay the application fee online. NTA has advised students to ensure that all details are accurate, as corrections may only be allowed during a limited correction window.

Eligibility and Exam Pattern

Students who have passed or are appearing in their Class 12 or equivalent examination from a recognised board are eligible to apply for CUET UG 2026. The exam is expected to be conducted in multiple shifts using a computer-based test (CBT) mode. The question paper will include language subjects, domain-specific subjects, and a general test, depending on the course requirements of participating universities.

Participating Universities and Courses

CUET UG scores are accepted by a large number of central universities such as Delhi University, Banaras Hindu University, Jawaharlal Nehru University, and many others. In addition, several state, private, and deemed universities have also joined the CUET platform, offering a wide range of undergraduate programmes in arts, science, commerce, and professional streams.

Important Instructions for Candidates

The NTA has urged applicants to regularly check the official website for updates related to exam dates, admit cards, city intimation slips, and result announcements. Candidates are also advised to keep copies of their confirmation page and fee receipt for future reference. Any misinformation or reliance on unofficial sources may lead to confusion, the agency cautioned.

With CUET UG emerging as a crucial entrance exam for undergraduate admissions in India, early registration and thorough preparation will be key for aspirants aiming to secure seats in top universities. Students are encouraged to apply well before the deadline to avoid last-minute technical issues.
