The National Testing Agency (NTA) has reopened the CUET UG 2026 registration portal, offering students who haven’t applied yet a fresh chance to submit their applications. The extended window opened on February 23, 2026, and candidates can now apply online at the official website cuet.nta.nic.in until February 26, 2026.
This decision comes after multiple requests from aspirants for more time to complete their registration. NTA, however, has clarified that no correction facility will be available after submission, so applicants must carefully review all details before final submission.
The CUET UG 2026 examination is scheduled to be held in Computer-Based Test (CBT) mode from May 11 to May 31, 2026, across India and select international cities. The test will be conducted in multiple languages and is the gateway for admission into undergraduate programs offered by Central Universities and other participating institutions nationwide.
