CUET PG

CUET PG 2026 is conducted by NTA for postgraduate admissions at central universities, state universities, and participating institutions. The exam covers 72+ programmes and was conducted in March 2026. Accepting universities include Delhi University MA/MSc/MCom, JNU MA/MSc, BHU PG programmes, Hyderabad Central University, Pondicherry University, and in Northeast India — Assam University (Silchar), Manipur University (Imphal), Tezpur University (Napaam), Rajiv Gandhi University (Arunachal Pradesh), and Cotton University (Guwahati).

CUET PG streamlines PG admissions the same way CUET UG does for undergraduate — a single exam score for multiple university applications. For NE students, CUET PG enables access to both regional universities for proximity and major central universities for academic prestige, without separate entrance tests for each.
