The National Testing Agency (NTA) has released an advisory for the Common University Entrance (CUET UG 2026), scheduled for May. Eligible candidates can apply
for the entrance test through the official website, cuet.nta.nic.in. The advisory aims to encourage timely and accurate updating by the candidates. NTA will obtain Name, Date of Birth, Gender, Photograph, and Address from UIDAI through Aadhaar Authentication (for updation in Aadhaar). However, since Father/Mother/Guardian's names, etc. are not recorded in Aadhaar, candidates would have to fill such details separately in the online application form. If there is a mismatch in the Aadhaar Card and the 10th Educational Certificate/Marksheet of any candidate, candidates will be allowed to edit it during the online application stage. Earlier, NTA asked candidates to update their Aadhaar, UDID card, and category certificate before the CUET UG 2026 application begins, to avoid any discrepancy at a later stage.
| Aadhaar Card- Aadhaar Card should be updated with correct name, date of birth (as per class 10th certificate), latest photograph, address and father's name. |
| UDID Card (for Persons with Disabilities)- UDID Card/Disability Certificate should be valid, updated and renewed as required. |
| Category Certificate- The category certificate (EWS/SC/ST/OBC-NCL) should be updated and valid. |
