The CUET UG 2026 admit card was released on May 5, 2026, allowing candidates to access it online. This release comes ahead of the exam dates scheduled from May 11 to May 31, 2026, and highlights the importance of timely downloads to prevent last-minute issues.
Before this announcement, candidates anticipated the release of their admit cards with some trepidation. Many were concerned about potential delays or technical issues that could arise when accessing the National Testing Agency’s (NTA) official portal.
Upon release, candidates can download their admit cards from cuet.nta.nic.in. To access the document, they must enter their application number and password. The admit card is crucial as it includes vital details such as the exam date, reporting time, and exam centre address.
Candidates must carry a printed version of their admit card along with a valid photo ID to gain entry into the exam hall. Valid IDs include Aadhaar Card, PAN Card, Voter ID, Passport, Driving License, and Class 12 Board Admit Card. Additionally, they need to fill out a self-declaration form at home but sign it in front of the invigilator.
However, candidates have reported issues regarding exam city slips. Some have faced long distances to their designated exam centres, which has added to their anxiety ahead of the tests. NTA has stated that they will provide updates should there be any changes regarding exam centres or dates.
Experts emphasize that downloading the admit card promptly is essential. As one source noted, “Candidates should not miss downloading the call letters as the link is live on the portal to avoid any last-minute issues.” This underscores how crucial timely action is for all candidates participating in this national-level entrance exam.
