The National Testing Agency has released the CUET UG 2026 updated admit card for candidates affected by the rescheduling of the 28 May 2026 examination. The exam scheduled on 28 May 2026 in both shifts was postponed, and NTA later rescheduled the affected candidates for 31 May 2026 and 06/07 June 2026. Admit cards for candidates scheduled on 31 May 2026 were released on 27 May 2026.
If your CUET UG 2026 paper was affected by this change, you should not depend on the earlier admit card. Download the new admit card from the official CUET website, check the revised date and shift, and take a clear A4-size printout with the self-declaration. Entry at the exam centre will be based on the date, shift, time and centre printed on the latest admit card.
CUET UG 2026 is conducted by NTA in Computer Based Test mode for admission to undergraduate programmes in Central Universities and other participating universities. The admit card is issued provisionally, and candidates must follow all exam-day instructions mentioned on it.
