The National Testing Agency (NTA) has officially re-opened the CUET UG 2026 application window after receiving multiple representations from candidates. This is a special extended opportunity for students who missed the earlier deadline or could not complete fee payment.
If you are planning to appear for CUET UG 2026, this update is extremely important — especially because no correction facility will be provided after submission during this extended period.
Let us understand the complete details, deadlines, and what candidates must do now.
🔎 Why Did NTA Reopen the Application Window?
Originally, the CUET UG 2026 registration process was:
- Open from 03 January 2026 to 30 January 2026
- Last date for fee payment: 31 January 2026 (11:50 PM)
- Extended up to 04 February 2026
- Fee payment allowed until 07 February 2026
After this, NTA received multiple requests from candidates asking for another opportunity. Considering these representations, NTA has decided to provide a final special chance.
This means the current window is not routine — it is a special facilitation measure.
⚠️ Important Warning: No Correction Facility This Time
This is the most critical point mentioned in the notice.
NTA has clearly stated that:
As this is a special extended period, no correction facility will be provided after submission of the application form.
This means:
- No change in personal details
- No correction in subject selection
- No change in category
- No modification in uploaded documents
Once submitted, your application will be treated as final.
Candidates must verify every detail carefully before clicking the final submit button.

- Category and PwD details

- Successful fee payment confirmation
If payment fails, your application will remain incomplete.
