CUET PG Exam Date 2026 LIVE Updates
02 00 PM IST - 11 Feb'26
Is the CUET PG 2026 Correction Window Still Open?
The official correction window for CUET PG 2026 is now closed, having concluded on January 30, 2026. This was the final opportunity for students to edit their personal details, change subject codes, or update their city preferences. If you missed this deadline, the NTA generally does not allow further changes to the application form. However, candidates should carefully review their City Intimation Slip (expected in the first week of March) to confirm that the details reflecting in the system are correct before the final admit cards are generated.
01 40 PM IST - 11 Feb'26
When can students download the CUET PG 2026 Admit Card?
Admit cards are scheduled to be released in phases starting from March 7–9, 2026. The NTA typically issues hall tickets 3 to 4 days before each specific exam date. For example, if your exam is on March 13, your admit card will likely be available by March 9. You will need your application number and date of birth to download it. Ensure you check the admit card for your specific shift timing and reporting time, as the gate closing rules will be strictly enforced.
01 20 PM IST - 11 Feb'26
What is the update on the City Intimation Slip for 2026?
To help candidates with travel arrangements, the NTA will likely activate the Advance City Intimation Link in the first week of March 2026. This slip is not the admit card; it simply informs you of the specific city where your exam center will be located. Since the exam is being held in 292 cities (down from previous years), knowing your allotted city early is vital for booking transport and accommodation, especially for those assigned to centers outside their home town.
01 00 PM IST - 11 Feb'26
Is There a Change in the Number of Test Cities?
A major logistical update for 2026 is the reduction in the number of exam centers. The CUET PG will now be held in 292 cities, including 16 international locations, which is a slight decrease from previous years. To help students, the NTA has allowed candidates to choose up to four preferred cities during the application process. The goal is to ensure that every student is allotted a center within their own state or a nearby region, making it easier for candidates to reach their venues during the busy 10–12 day exam window.
12 40 PM IST - 11 Feb'26
How Has the Exam Duration and Question Count Changed?
Along with the syllabus revision, the exam structure has been tightened. The total number of questions has been reduced from 100 to 75 Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs). Correspondingly, the exam duration is now 90 minutes instead of the earlier 105-minute window. This change requires candidates to have a much higher speed and accuracy rate. Since each correct answer earns 4 marks and an incorrect one loses 1 mark, the total weightage stands at 300 marks, making every question vital for your final merit rank.
12 20 PM IST - 11 Feb'26
Is Section A Still Part of the CUET PG 2026 Syllabus?
The most critical update for 2026 is the complete removal of Section A (General Aptitude). In previous years, candidates faced 25 questions on general awareness and reasoning. However, the NTA has officially scrapped this section to streamline the process. The 2026 syllabus now focuses exclusively on Domain Knowledge, meaning all 75 questions will be strictly from your chosen subject. This allows students to dedicate their entire preparation time to their core academic area without worrying about general math or English sections.
