CUET UG Datesheet 2026: NTA update
CUET UG Datesheet 2026 shows the exam window is May 11 - May 31, 2026 and the test will be held in CBT mode . NTA is unlikely to publish a single, subject-wise public datesheet for all candidates.
CUET UG Datesheet 2026: why a central datesheet may not appear
NTA ran a full CBT schedule in 2025 , and that allowed flexible, candidate-wise scheduling. In 2024 a formal datesheet was released because the exam used a hybrid mode. That shift in format explains why a one-size-fits-all datesheet is less practical for CUET UG 2026 .
How to check subject-wise schedule for CUET UG Datesheet 2026
If no central datesheet is released, NTA will still share exam details with each candidate. Your subject-wise exam date, shift and centre will appear on two official documents: the advance city intimation slip and the admit card.
- The advance city intimation slip gives a tentative exam date and your exam city. It arrives about 10–20 days before the admit card .
- The admit card lists subject-wise exam dates, shift timings and exam centre details. It is issued roughly 2–3 days before your exam .
