About the CUET PG MCA 2026 Exam
The CUET PG 2026 examination was conducted in Computer-Based Test (CBT) mode between March 6 and March 27, 2026. The exam spanned 21 days and covered a total of 157 subjects across three daily shifts. The registration process had opened on December 14, 2025, and closed on January 14, 2026.
This year, over 4 lakh candidates registered for the exam across India. The provisional answer key was released on April 11, 2026, and candidates were given a window to raise objections by paying a fee of Rs. 200 per question. After reviewing all the challenges submitted by candidates, the final answer key was prepared, and today's result has been calculated on the basis of that final key.
The marking scheme followed a system of +4 marks for every correct answer and -1 mark for every wrong answer. No marks were deducted for unanswered questions.
Expected Cutoff Scores for CUET PG MCA 2026
NTA does not release a single unified cutoff for CUET PG. Each participating university sets its own cutoff independently based on the number of seats available, the difficulty level of the exam, and the number of applicants. However, based on general trends from previous years, here is a rough idea of what competitive scores look like:
- General / Unreserved Category: 250 to 260 marks and above
- OBC Category: 230 to 240 marks and above
- SC / ST Category: 210 to 218 marks and above
These are only indicative numbers based on past trends. Actual cutoffs will be announced separately by each university on their own official websites, most likely from May 2026 onwards. Do not rely on these figures as final — always check the official university portal.
Which Universities Accept CUET PG MCA 2026 Scores?
A total of 198 universities and institutions across India are participating in CUET PG 2026. These include central universities, state universities, government-funded institutions, deemed universities, and private universities. Some of the most sought-after institutions where MCA admissions happen through CUET PG scores include:
- University of Delhi (DU)
- Banaras Hindu University (BHU)
- Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU)
- Jamia Millia Islamia
- University of Hyderabad (UoH)
- Pondicherry University
- Aligarh Muslim University (AMU)
- And many more state and private universities
Each of these universities will conduct their own independent counselling process. You must visit each university's portal separately to register for counselling and check the merit list.
What Happens After the Result? — Counselling Process
Once you have your scorecard in hand, the next step is counselling and admission. Here is what the process generally looks like:
- University Merit List: Each participating university will release its own course-wise and category-wise merit list from May 2026. You must check the official website of each university you are interested in.
- Individual Registration: You need to register separately on each university's admission portal. There is no single common counselling for all universities.
- Document Verification: Shortlisted candidates will be called for document verification. Keep all original certificates ready — graduation marksheets, category certificate (if applicable), identity proof, and your CUET PG 2026 scorecard.
- Seat Allotment: Based on your score, category, and preference, seats will be allotted by the respective university.
- Fee Payment and Admission Confirmation: After seat allotment, you need to pay the admission fee to confirm your seat within the given deadline.
Do not delay in checking merit lists. Counselling windows are often short and missing a deadline can mean losing your seat even if your score is excellent.
