CUET UG 2026 Postponed Exams Rescheduled:The National Testing Agency (NTA) has officially released the revised schedule for the postponed Common University Entrance Test Undergraduate (CUET-UG) 2026 examinations right on time. Candidates whose exams were originally planned for May 28 will now take the exam on May 31, June 6, and June 7, 2026.
This update was made because the May 28 examination got postponed due to the revised observance date of Id-ul-Zuha (Bakrid). The NTA issued a formal notice confirming the shift and it has also turned on the revised admit card download link for the students who are affected. Thousands of candidates across India are expected to get relief through this updated calendar.
Why Were CUET-UG 2026 Exams Postponed?
The CUET-UG 2026 exam on May 28 was deferred after the Government of India revised the holiday date for Bakrid. After that announcement, several student groups and education bodies asked the NTA to reschedule so that candidates would not face inconvenience during the festival period.
As a response, the NTA postponed both shifts scheduled for May 28, and it also assured students that new dates would be announced soon. Now, the revised schedule is out officially.
