CUET UG 2026: Important Dates. 2026 information reviewed on 25 September; retain the stated verification limits.

Confirmed 2026 status and key dates

The 2026 examination and result stages are complete. NTA's result press release is dated 23 June 2026. As of this review on 25 September, candidates should be looking at their chosen universities' admission or remaining-vacancy notices, rather than waiting for NTA to announce the main result. A university may have a later admission activity without reopening the national examination application.

NTA's conduct notice confirms examination dates from 11 to 31 May and additional sittings on 6–7 June 2026. The June dates matter because the original bulletin's May window was tentative. A retrospective guide should include the subsequently conducted dates instead of retaining the initial calendar as though nothing changed.

Event Verified historical position
Original application opening 3 January 2026
Original bulletin application deadline 30 January 2026; not asserted here as the final extended deadline
Original bulletin fee deadline 31 January 2026; later notices could amend it
Main conducted examination period 11–31 May 2026
Additional conducted dates 6–7 June 2026
Provisional-key notice Issued in June before final result
Result declaration 23 June 2026
University admission activity Separate institution and programme schedules

This table distinguishes original dates from completed events. The full extension and reopening chronology was not established in this review, so an original January deadline should not be copied into a field labelled final deadline. Candidates seeking a record of their own application should rely on their confirmation and the applicable dated notice.
