The Common University Entrance Test for Postgraduate (CUET PG) 2026 will commence on 6 March 2026 in computer‑based test mode across multiple cities in India. Candidates appearing must reach the exam centre at least 90 minutes before the scheduled start time and follow all exam day protocols including carrying the admit card and valid photo ID.
The National Testing Agency (NTA) will conduct the CUET PG 2026 exam starting 6 March 2026 and continuing through the month on multiple dates and shifts. The postgraduate entrance test for admission into various PG programmes across central and participating universities will be held in Computer‑Based Test (CBT) mode at centres nationwide.
CUET PG 2026 Exam Schedule and Shifts
The CUET PG schedule spans several days in March with three shifts per day for most sessions. The exam duration for each session is 90 minutes, and each paper typically consists of 75 questions. Candidates must check their individual admit cards for their specific exam date and timing.
Shift Timings (General Pattern):
- Shift I: 09:00 AM to 10:30 AM
- Shift II: 12:30 PM to 02:00 PM
- Shift III: 04:00 PM to 05:30 PM
Aspirants are advised to confirm the exact timing on their hall ticket to avoid confusion on the exam day.
CUET PG 2026 Reporting Time and Entry Rules
Candidates are instructed to arrive at the exam centre at least 90 minutes before the commencement of their scheduled shift. Early arrival ensures that candidates complete security verification, biometric procedures and seating before the start of the test. Late entry beyond the reporting window may lead to disqualification from sitting in the exam. Along with the admit card, candidates must carry a valid government‑issued photo identity proof such as an Aadhaar card, passport, voter ID or driving licence to gain entry into the exam hall.
What to Carry and CUET PG 2026 Exam Day Guidelines?
On the day of the CUET PG exam, candidates should bring:
- Printed CUET PG 2026 admit card
- Valid photo ID proof
- Two passport‑size photographs (if required for verification)
Items strictly prohibited inside the examination hall include mobile phones, calculators, wearable devices, study materials, bags and any form of electronic gadgets. Candidates must adhere to the dress code and exam day instructions mentioned on their admit cards. It is important to ensure that all details on the admit card — including name, exam centre, date and shift timing — are correct. Any discrepancies should be communicated to the NTA helpdesk well before the exam day.
After the Examination?
Once the CUET PG tests are completed, candidates should monitor further updates about answer keys, results, counselling dates and merit lists which will be released by NTA and participating universities subsequently. The performance in CUET PG determines admission to postgraduate courses across central, state and private universities offering a range of disciplines.
