Pro Tip: The NTA portal typically experiences heavy traffic when admit cards are first released. Try downloading during early morning or late night hours to avoid server slowdowns.
Keep the following details ready before attempting to log in:
Application Number — the 8 to 11-digit numeric code generated during CUET UG 2026 registration
Password — the one created during registration on cuet.nta.nic.in
Alternatively: Date of Birth (in DD/MM/YYYY format) can be used in place of the password
Security Warning: Download your admit card only from the official NTA website — cuet.nta.nic.in. Third-party websites cannot issue or display the official admit card. Beware of phishing links circulated on social media.
After downloading, carefully cross-verify each of the following details printed on your hall ticket:
Candidate's Full Name (as registered)
Application Number and Roll Number
Photograph and Signature
Category (General / OBC / SC / ST / EWS / PwD)
Subject(s) opted for examination
Exam Date(s) for each subject
Shift Timings (Shift 1 / Shift 2)
Reporting Time at the Examination Centre

Critical Reminder: Entry to the exam hall is strictly not permitted without both the printed admit card AND a valid photo ID. No exceptions are made under any circumstances.
If the admit card link is not appearing on your dashboard even after the official release date, try the following:
Double-check that you are logging in with the correct Application Number and Password/Date of Birth.
Clear your browser cache and cookies, then retry.
Try using a different browser (Chrome, Firefox, Edge) or a different device.
Attempt downloading at off-peak hours — early morning works best.
Verify your exam date — if it is scheduled for a later date in May, your admit card will be released closer to that date.
If the issue persists after your exam date has been reached on the release schedule, contact NTA immediately at 011-40759000.
