Last Chance Alert! CUET (UG) 2026 Application Portal Re-Opens for a Final Dash

Missed the bus for the biggest undergraduate entrance exam in India? Breathe a sigh of relief! The National Testing Agency (NTA) has just dropped a massive lifeline for thousands of students across the country. In a move that highlights the agency’s commitment to student welfare, the online application portal for the Common University Entrance Test (CUET-UG) 2026 is officially back in business.

Whether you faced technical glitches, missed the previous deadlines, or had a sudden change of heart about your higher education path, this “special window” is your final ticket to India’s top central, state, and private universities.

The “Must-Watch” Calendar: The Final 72-Hour Window

Time is of the essence! This isn’t a long extension; it’s a sprint. Mark these non-negotiable dates in your calendar right now:

• Re-opening Date: February 23, 2026 (Afternoon).
• Final Deadline to Apply: February 26, 2026 (upto 11:50 PM).
• Last Date for Fee Payment: February 26, 2026 (upto 11:50 PM).

Mission Profile: Important Rules for the Re-opening

This extension comes with a specific set of conditions that every aspirant must understand to avoid disqualification.

• No Correction Facility: Unlike the previous windows, this is a special period. NTA has explicitly stated that no correction facility will be provided after you submit your form. Accuracy is your top priority.
• Mode of Exam: The test will be conducted in Computer-Based Test (CBT) mode.
• Global Presence: Exams will take place in centers across India and in a few selected cities outside India.
• Response to Requests: This re-opening is a direct result of multiple representations and requests sent by candidates who missed the initial January and early February windows.

Strategic Steps for Your Final Application

1. Double-Check Everything: Ensure your personal details, choice of universities, and subject mappings are 100% correct before hitting submit.
2. Payment is Priority: Don’t just save the form; ensure your payment is processed by the 11:50 PM deadline on February 26.
3. Monitor Official Sites: Keep a tab on https://nta.ac.in and https://cuet.nta.nic.in/ for any last-minute updates.

The initial application period ran from January 3 to January 30, with a brief extension until February 4. Now, the NTA has opened the doors one last time. This is a rare opportunity to secure your academic future in the 2026-27 session.

Don’t let this final opportunity slip through your fingers. Log on, fill up, and get ready to ace the CUET!
