If you are aiming for a seat in a central university, a state university or a participating private university next year, CUET UG 2027 registration is your first real step. Everything else, from the admit card to counselling, depends on a correctly filled application.
NTA has not yet published the official CUET UG 2027 bulletin, so the dates below are expected, worked out from how the 2026 cycle ran. Confirm everything on cuet.nta.nic.in once the notice goes live.

CUET UG 2027 Registration Date and Time
The official CUET UG 2027 registration date and time has not been announced. Going by the previous cycle, NTA released the bulletin and opened the portal on the same day, 3 January 2026. So the 2027 form is likely to open in the first week of January 2027.
On time: the application portal is online round the clock, so you can fill the form at any hour. What matters is the deadline hour. In 2026, the last date to apply and the fee payment cut-off were both set up to 11:50 PM, so don’t leave submission for the final evening.
CUET UG 2027 Registration Last Date (Expected)
NTA announces the CUET UG 2027 registration last date inside the bulletin. For reference, the 2026 cycle went like this:
| Event | CUET UG 2026 (actual) | CUET UG 2027 (expected) |
|---|---|---|
| Registration starts | 3 January 2026 | First week of January 2027 |
| Last date to apply | 30 January 2026 | Late January to early February 2027 |
| Fee payment deadline | 31 January 2026 | A day after the last date to apply |
| Correction window | 9–11 February 2026 | February 2027 |
| Exam | 11–31 May 2026 | May 2027 |
Note that the 2026 deadline did not stay fixed. It was extended more than once, and the window was reopened for a few days in late February. You should not plan around an extension, though, because NTA never guarantees one.
CUET UG 2027 Registration Fees
The CUET UG 2027 registration fees will be confirmed in the bulletin. NTA kept the 2026 fee the same as the year before, and the same structure is widely expected for 2027:
| Category | Up to 3 subjects | Each additional subject |
|---|---|---|
| General (UR) | ₹1,000 | ₹400 |
| OBC-NCL / EWS | ₹900 | ₹375 |
| SC / ST / PwBD / Third Gender | ₹800 | ₹350 |
| Centres outside India | ₹4,500 | ₹1,800 |
Example: A General category candidate choosing five subjects would pay ₹1,000 + (2 × ₹400) = ₹1,800. An OBC-NCL candidate with the same five subjects would pay ₹900 + (2 × ₹375) = ₹1,650.
Fees are paid online through UPI, debit card, credit card or net banking. Payment is not refundable, and a form without successful payment is treated as incomplete.
Who Can Apply? Eligibility
- You should have passed Class 12 (or an equivalent exam), or be appearing in it in 2027.
- There is no upper age limit for CUET UG.
- Individual universities set their own subject and minimum-mark requirements, so check those for the courses you want before locking your subjects.
Documents Required
Keep these ready before you start (sizes are from earlier bulletins, so recheck in 2027):
- Class 10 and Class 12 details (roll number, board, year)
- Recent passport-size photograph (JPG/JPEG, roughly 10–200 KB)
- Signature scan (JPG/JPEG, roughly 4–30 KB)

How to Complete CUET UG 2027 Registration, Step by Step
- Open the official portal: Go to cuet.nta.nic.in and click the CUET UG 2027 registration link.
- Create your account: Enter your name, mobile number, email and a password. You will receive an application number, so note it down.
- Fill personal and academic details: Enter your information exactly as it appears on your Class 10 and 12 documents.

- Upload photo and signature in the prescribed format and size.
- Pay the fee online and wait for the success message.
- Download and save the confirmation page. You will need it later for corrections and the admit card.
CUET UG 2027 Correction Window
After the application deadline, NTA usually opens a short correction window of two to three days. You can change certain details such as subjects or test city, but fields like your name or mobile number are often locked. Some changes may carry an extra fee, so submit a clean form the first time.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Waiting for the last day, when the portal slows down.
- Choosing subjects without checking the target university’s eligibility.
- Uploading a blurred photo or an oversized signature file.
- Using a mobile number or email you can’t access, since all alerts go there.
- Trusting unofficial pages for dates. Always cross-check on cuet.nta.nic.in.
