NTA issues tentative exam calendar for JEE Main, CUET PG, UGC NET
The Story in Brief
The National Testing Agency has released a tentative calendar for 14 competitive examinations scheduled from December 2026 to March 2027. The list includes JEE Main Session 1, UGC NET, Joint CSIR UGC NET, CMAT, CUET PG, and the NIFT entrance examination.
JEE Main Session 1 will be held from 22 to 24 January and 28 to 30 January 2027. UGC NET for the December cycle is set for 14 to 18 December and 21 December 2026, while Joint CSIR UGC NET is scheduled for 20 and 21 December 2026. CUET PG will take place across multiple dates from 1 March to 25 March 2027.
The NTA said the dates may be revised due to administrative or logistical requirements. Candidates are advised to check the official NTA website and individual exam portals for final schedules, application deadlines, admit cards, and results.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The calendar gives students a planning window for 14 national-level exams over four months, but the provisional nature means every date carries risk of change. JEE Main Session 1 spans six days in late January, which will affect lakhs of engineering aspirants, while CUET PG’s March window covers 18 days, giving universities flexibility but candidates uncertainty. The NTA’s advisory to monitor individual portals shifts the burden onto applicants, who must track each exam separately for detailed notifications and admit cards. No official date for JEE Main Session 2 or other second-phase exams has been released yet.
