# DDU Gorakhpur releases RET 2026 schedule, exams on 4 to 5 November 2026-10-16T01:16:27+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Deen Dayal Upadhyay Gorakhpur University (DDU) has released the timetable for its Research Eligibility Test (RET) 2026, the PhD entrance exam. The test will be held in two shifts on 4 and 5 November at the campus. Candidates can download admit cards from the university's official admission portal starting 30 October. The director of the admission cell, Prof Harsh Kumar Sinha, shared the full schedule. On 4 November, the morning shift will cover Hindi, biotechnology, economics, environmental science, commerce, computer science, and medieval and modern history. The evening shift has geography, law, visual art, sociology, botany, home science and philosophy. On 5 November, the morning shift covers agriculture, mathematics, physical education, psychology, education, business administration, microbiology and physics. The evening shift has zoology, English, electronics, IT, Sanskrit, chemistry, political science, ancient history, defence studies and pharmacy. The university has advised candidates to check their date and shift carefully once the admit card is out. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The exam schedule resolves a key timeline uncertainty for PhD aspirants at DDU Gorakhpur, but the compressed two-day window across 31 subjects means 15 of them compete for the morning shift alone on each day, which may test logistics. The university hasn't yet stated how many candidates are registered or how seat allocation works after the test. The next concrete step is the admit card release on 30 October, when candidates will learn their exact shift and venue. ## Coverage - bhaskar.com Straight factual announcement with no editorial slant This brief was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
