CUET PG 2026: Aadhaar Biometrics, CCTV at Exams

The National Testing Agency (NTA) will implement Aadhaar-based biometric verification for all candidates at CUET PG 2026 exam centers. The Common University Entrance Test – Postgraduate (CUET PG 2026) is scheduled from March 6 to March 27. Strict CCTV surveillance and signal jammers will be active at all test venues. The NTA has released the city slip for the examination.

Exam Schedule and Verification

CUET PG 2026 exams will be conducted on March 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 16, 17, 18, 19, 24, 25, and 27. The exams cover 157 subjects nationwide. Candidates should verify their test venue one day before the exam. Those who did not use Aadhaar for registration must report earlier for verification.

The CUET PG 2026 admit card and city allotment slip are available on the official website, exams.nta.nic.in/cuet-pg/. Candidates must check admit card details, including exam date, venue, and timings. Report any discrepancies immediately.

Security Measures at Exam Centers

All examination centers will have live CCTV surveillance. Signal jammers will prevent electronic communication. Engaging in malpractices can lead to disciplinary action, including debarment from future NTA exams.
