Candidates can submit their applications until January 14, 2026, while the application correction window will be open from January 18 to January 20, 2026. The CUET PG 2026 exam is scheduled to take place in March 2026.

However, due to administrative or logistic reasons, a different city may be assigned. If very few candidates register from a particular city, NTA may merge it with one or more nearby cities. "The decision of the NTA regarding the allotment of the City/Centre shall be final. No further correspondence or request shall be entertained in such a case. In case of foreign candidates as well, the Choice of Cities will be based on their Present and Permanent address from Appendix III for the exam Centre in order of their priority," reads official bulletin.
