CUET PG 2026 Exam Day Guidelines

The NTA has already issued the CUET PG 2026 Exam Day Guidelines for the exam scheduled from March 06 to 27, 2026. These guidelines and instructions will also be written on the CUET PG 2026 admit cards. The candidates should read the instructions very carefully, such as reporting time, dos and don'ts, etc. Every candidate must follow these guidelines on the examination day; failing to do so the candidates will not be allowed to sit in the examination. Here we share some common and very important instructions that every candidate should follow

• Candidates are advised to report at the Examination Center well in time i.e., about 90 Minutes before commencement of the examination.

• Candidates should take their seats immediately after the opening of the Examination Hall. If the candidates do not report in time due to any reason i.e., traffic jam, train/bus delay, etc., they are likely to miss some of the important instructions to be announced in the Examination Rooms/Halls. NTA shall not be responsible for any delay.

• The candidate must show, on demand, the Admit Card downloaded/printed from the NTA website for admission to the examination room/hall. The Test Centre Staff on duty is authorised to verify the identity of candidates and may take steps to verify and confirm the identity credentials. Candidates are requested to extend their full cooperation. A candidate who does not possess a valid Admit Card and authorised Photo ID shall not be permitted to take the examination under any circumstances by the Centre Superintendent.

• A seat indicating Roll Number will be allotted to each candidate. Candidates should find and sit in their allocated seats only. In case a candidate ventures to change his/her seat and does not sit on the seat allotted to him/her could face cancellation of candidature. No plea would be entertained in this regard.

• The candidate should ensure that the Question Paper available on the computer is as per his/her opted subject indicated in the Admit Card. In case, the subject of the Question Paper is other than his/her opted subject, the same may be brought to the notice of the Invigilator concerned.

• The candidates may approach the Centre Superintendent/Invigilator in the room for any technical assistance, first aid emergency, or any other information during the course of the examination.

• In case a candidate, by furnishing false information, appears in more than one shift/date, his candidature will be cancelled and his result will not be declared.
