The Common University Entrance Test [CUET (UG)] 2026 is scheduled in Computer-Based Test (CBT) mode from 11 May to 31 May, 2026 (tentative) across India and select international centers.
Originally, the CUET (UG) 2026 online application window was from 3 January to 30 January, 2026, with fee payment allowed until 31 January, 2026. The CUET (UG) 2026 application deadline was later extended to 4 February for submissions, and 7 February for fee payments.
