Through this entrance examination, students are admitted to undergraduate courses in central universities, state universities, deemed universities, private universities, and various other government institutions across the country.
CUET UG 2026 Exam will be conducted in 13 Languages:
According to the notification issued by the NTA, the exam will be conducted in a total of 13 languages: Assamese, Bengali, English, Gujarati, Hindi, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Punjabi, Odia, Tamil, Telugu, and Urdu. The exam will be conducted in Computer-Based Test (CBT) mode.
According to the NTA, "To minimise the procedural difficulties faced by candidates while filling out the online application form for CUET (UG)-2026, the National Testing Agency issued a public notice on December 4, 2025. The main objective of issuing this notice was to assist millions of candidates across the country in updating their information accurately and on time. The NTA will obtain the candidate's name, date of birth, gender, photograph, and address through Aadhaar authentication from UIDAI (for updating information in Aadhaar, please follow UIDAI guidelines).
However, since the father's/mother's/guardian's name, etc., is not recorded in Aadhaar, candidates will have to fill in these details separately in the online application form.
Courses, Universities, and Syllabus:
Information regarding the courses and programs offered by Central Universities and other participating institutions is available on the CUET UG portal as well as on the respective university websites. Since the list of participating universities may be updated, candidates are advised to regularly check the official NTA website for the latest information.
The CUET UG 2026 syllabus has also been released and can be accessed on the official website.
Advisory on Aadhaar Details:
NTA has issued this advisory to help candidates avoid difficulties during the application process. Applicants are advised to ensure that their Aadhaar details are updated as per the guidelines issued by the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI). However, if a candidate's father's or mother's name is not present in the Aadhaar database, it will not be mandatory to fill in those details in the application form.
Clarification on Name Discrepancies:
In cases where there is a discrepancy in the candidate's name between the Aadhaar card and the Class 10 certificate or marksheet, the application system will provide an option to correct and resolve this discrepancy during the form submission process.
