Overview
The National Testing Agency (NTA) has announced the CUET PG 2027 examination dates for candidates seeking admission to postgraduate programmes at participating universities. The entrance examination will be conducted on selected dates in March 2027, with March 30 and 31 reserved as buffer days. As CUET PG is an admission test rather than a recruitment drive, there are no fixed posts or vacancies; seats will be notified separately by participating institutions.

Eligibility Criteria
Educational Qualification
- Applicants must hold a bachelor’s degree or equivalent qualification from a recognised university or institution.

- Programme-specific eligibility conditions may include a particular undergraduate subject, minimum marks, credit requirements or other academic criteria.
- Candidates must check the eligibility rules of every university and postgraduate programme selected in the application form. Qualifying CUET PG does not automatically establish eligibility for admission.
Age Limit
- NTA generally does not prescribe an upper age limit for appearing in CUET PG.
- Participating universities may impose their own age conditions for particular courses.
- Applicants must verify the programme-specific rules in the 2027 information bulletin and the admission prospectus of the relevant university.
Fees
- The CUET PG 2027 application fee has not yet been announced.
- Fees are expected to vary by category and may cover a specified number of test papers.
- Additional charges may apply for extra test papers, examination centres outside India or online payment services.
- University counselling and admission fees, where applicable, will be collected separately and are not included in the NTA examination fee.
Selection Process
- Computer-Based Test: Registered candidates must appear for the CUET PG 2027 examination on the allotted date, shift and test centre. The paper pattern, duration and marking scheme will be specified in the information bulletin.
- Score and Result Declaration: NTA will process the final answer key and issue candidates’ scores after considering valid objections received against the provisional answer key.
