CUET UG Counselling

The CUET UG counselling is done by individual universities participating in CUET. There is no centralized counselling system for CUET UG admissions as there is in the case of the entrance examination. Contrary to the common perception that there is a centralized counselling process for the CUET Admission, which is conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA) for exams like JEE Main or NEET, it is not the case here.

The qualified candidates of CUET UG exam can visit the CUET UG counselling website of the preferred universities and the CUET counselling registration 2026.

CUET UG score is accepted for university admission for undergraduate programmes by universities like the University of Delhi (DU), Banaras Hindu University (BHU), Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU), University of Allahabad, and a few other central, state, private and deemed universities.

Counselling for CUET UG 2026 will include candidates filling the CUET counselling form 2026, providing their college and course preferences, uploading the necessary documents and paying CUET counselling fees for UG. Seats are allocated based on the candidate's CUET score, seat availability, and the reservation criteria and preferences he/she had chosen.

Over 250 universities in India are expected to be involved in the CUET UG 2026 admission process and provide admission to various undergraduate courses that include Arts, Science, Commerce, Management, Humanities, Languages, and Interdisciplinary Studies. Applicants are recommended to frequently visit the official websites of the desired Universities for counselling timetables, cut-off lists, seat allotment lists, and notifications on admissions.
