CUET PG Exam Date 2026 LIVE Updates

What is the update on the City Intimation Slip for 2026?
To help candidates with travel arrangements, the NTA will likely activate the Advance City Intimation Link in the first week of March 2026. This slip is not the admit card; it simply informs you of the specific city where your exam center will be located. Since the exam is being held in 292 cities (down from previous years), knowing your allotted city early is vital for booking transport and accommodation, especially for those assigned to centers outside their home town.

Is There a Change in the Number of Test Cities?
A major logistical update for 2026 is the reduction in the number of exam centers. The CUET PG will now be held in 292 cities, including 16 international locations, which is a slight decrease from previous years. To help students, the NTA has allowed candidates to choose up to four preferred cities during the application process. The goal is to ensure that every student is allotted a center within their own state or a nearby region, making it easier for candidates to reach their venues during the busy 10–12 day exam window.

How Has the Exam Duration and Question Count Changed?
Along with the syllabus revision, the exam structure has been tightened. The total number of questions has been reduced from 100 to 75 Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs). Correspondingly, the exam duration is now 90 minutes instead of the earlier 105-minute window. This change requires candidates to have a much higher speed and accuracy rate. Since each correct answer earns 4 marks and an incorrect one loses 1 mark, the total weightage stands at 300 marks, making every question vital for your final merit rank.

Is Section A Still Part of the CUET PG 2026 Syllabus?
The most critical update for 2026 is the complete removal of Section A (General Aptitude). In previous years, candidates faced 25 questions on general awareness and reasoning. However, the NTA has officially scrapped this section to streamline the process. The 2026 syllabus now focuses exclusively on Domain Knowledge, meaning all 75 questions will be strictly from your chosen subject. This allows students to dedicate their entire preparation time to their core academic area without worrying about general math or English sections.
