Frequently Asked Questions

Can I submit my CUET form after 02 June 2026?

No. The online portal automatically closes at 11:50 PM IST on 02 June 2026. There are no exceptions, grace periods, or late submissions accepted by NTA. Once the deadline passes, registrations are permanently closed. Plan accordingly and submit at least 1-2 days before the deadline to avoid technical glitches.

What if I made mistakes in my CUET registration form?

NTA provides a limited correction window from 03-07 June 2026 where you can edit certain fields like exam center, course selection, and contact details. However, critical fields like name, date of birth, and photograph CANNOT be changed after submission. If you notice errors in unchangeable fields, contact NTA help desk immediately with proof documents and request for correction before verification begins.

Is there a CUET registration fee waiver for SC/ST/OBC candidates?

Yes. SC and ST candidates receive a 50% discount on the registration fee. OBC (Non-Creamy Layer) candidates are eligible for fee reduction as per government guidelines. Persons with Disability (PwD) get completely free registration. Provide valid certificates during registration to avail of these benefits; they cannot be applied retroactively after fee payment.

Can I change my exam center after form submission?

Yes, during the correction window (03-07 June 2026), you can change your exam center preferences. However, after the correction window closes, exam center changes are not permitted. Final allocations are done on first-come, first-served basis, so choose wisely during registration itself.

What documents do I need to upload along with CUET 2026 application form?

At registration stage, you only upload photograph and signature. Original documents like 10th/12th marksheets, Aadhar, caste certificate (if applicable), and other proof documents are submitted during the document verification stage (after form submission). Keep originals ready for verification; do NOT send them with application form initially. Scanning quality matters—upload clear, readable scans.

If I'm still studying in Class 12, can I apply for CUET 2026?

Yes. Candidates currently appearing for Class 12 exams in 2026 can register for CUET 2026. You do not need to have completed Class 12 before form submission, but you must pass Class 12 exams before final merit list declaration. Some universities may require your Class 12 result at the time of counseling or admission, so ensure your board results are declared on time after CUET exam.
