CUET PG 2026 Registration LIVE — The Countdown to Your Postgraduate Dreams Begins

By TownMate Editorial~16–18 min read

The National Testing Agency (NTA) has officially opened the CUET PG 2026 registration window. For students aiming for postgraduate admissions in Central and participating universities across India, CUET PG has become the primary gateway.

CUET PG replaces fragmented university-level entrance tests with a single national examination. One score gives you access to multiple MA, MSc, MCom, LLM, MTech, and other PG programmes. Earlier, postgraduate aspirants had to prepare for different entrance exams with varying syllabi and schedules. CUET PG centralizes this system, ensuring fairness, transparency, and reduced financial burden.
