What was the CUET PG 2026 exam pattern and process
The CUET PG exam has been conducted in the computer-based test (CBT) mode for 157 subjects. The exam has opened a competitive platform for candidates from all academic backgrounds to pursue their postgraduate studies.
After the exam, the NTA released the provisional answer key on April 11. Candidates could raise objections against the answers by paying a Rs 200 non-refundable fee per question.
All the challenges have been reviewed by a panel of subject experts. If any objection was found to be correct, the answer key was modified accordingly. This final answer key has now been used to prepare the final result. Fairness and transparency are ensured.
What happens after CUET PG 2026 results are declared
After the announcement of results, concerned universities will publish their private cut-offs and merit lists.
Candidates who qualify the cut-offs will be called for counselling. Unlike the centralised admission process, the CUET PG counselling is managed individually by each university.
Students have to apply to the universities and the courses of your choice separately. The CUET PG score will be valid only for the 2026–27 year session.
How have CUET PG result trends changed over the years
The participation trend of the CUET PG has been rising and falling in recent years. In 2025, the results were declared on May 6, when 5.23 lakh candidates appeared out of the registration of more than 6.5 lakh candidates. This is the highest attendance of 79.97 per cent. In 2024, attendance was 75.14 per cent when 5.7 lakh candidates appeared out of 7.6 lakh registered candidates. In 2023, the attendance was 61.51 per cent when 5.39 lakh appeared.
The trend of steady increase in the participation indicates that CUET PG is gradually being accepted as a joint admission process. Candidates need to keep themselves updated about the announcements of the universities and be prepared for the next step of admissions as the results are declared.
