CUET UG 2026 Admit Cards Released: Download Steps and Exam Schedule
The National Testing Agency (NTA) has officially released the admit cards for the Common University Entrance Test (CUET) for undergraduate programs in 2026. Candidates who successfully completed their registration process can now visit the official portal to download their hall tickets ahead of the upcoming examination window.
This year, the CUET UG examination is scheduled to take place between May 11 and May 31, 2026. With the admit cards now available, students are advised to secure their documents early and review all the critical information printed on them to avoid any last-minute complications.
Key Details Mentioned on the Admit Card
Once downloaded, candidates must carefully verify the following details printed on their CUET UG 2026 admit card:
- Candidate’s full name
- Roll number and application number
- Signature and photograph
- Exam name and medium of the test
- Date and time of the examination
- Reporting time at the exam centre
- Complete address of the assigned examination centre
- Important instructions for the exam day
Any discrepancy in these details should be brought to the attention of the examination authorities immediately. It is the responsibility of the candidate to ensure that all information on the admit card is accurate and matches their application records.
Important Instructions for Exam Day
All candidates are required to carry a valid photo identification document to the examination centre. This ID must be the same one that was uploaded during the online application process and should also correspond to the details mentioned on the admit card.
For those candidates whose live photograph captured at the time of registration did not match the photo on their Aadhaar card, or who registered using an alternative identity proof, additional documentation is required. These candidates must bring the original copy of a verification certificate for physical verification at the exam centre.
The certificate must be duly signed and verified by a principal or head master of an educational institution, or by a Class-I gazetted officer such as a tehsildar, revenue officer, sub-divisional magistrate, or district magistrate. For NRI candidates, the certificate should be verified by a Class-I gazetted officer at the Indian embassy. The prescribed format for this certificate aligns with the official public notice issued by the NTA on April 7, 2026.
