CUET 2027 : Counselling

Following the CUET UG 2027 test, the next crucial procedure for aspirants will be the admission and counseling procedure of universities.

CUET is an examination carried out on a national level by National Testing Agency (NTA). However, NTA does not hold a single counseling procedure for all the universities taking part in CUET. It is the responsibility of every university or institution to handle its own admission procedures. (CUET)

The aspirants will have to apply through the admission website of each university individually.

When Will CUET 2027 Counselling Start?

The CUET 2027 counselling procedure would be likely to commence following the announcement of the CUET UG result.

As per the estimated 2027 exam schedule, the result could come in June 2027, after which university-based admissions and counselling will be likely to take place in July/August 2027.

The dates have not been officially announced as yet.

Admissions at universities like DU, JNU, and BHU follow different processes. The DU, for instance, used its Common Seat Allocation System in 2026 for UG admissions, while JNU had a separate application process for applicants after CUET result. The BHU also opened a separate portal for UG admissions of CUET candidates.
