The National Testing Agency (NTA) has opened a one‑time correction window for the CUET UG 2026 application form, offering candidates a chance to fix mistakes or update certain details after submitting their forms. This facility is crucial for ensuring accurate information before the exam process continues.
🗓 Correction Window Date: Final Chance to Edit Your Form
The correction window was activated on February 9, 2026, and will close tonight — february 11, 2026 — at 11:50 PM. This is the last opportunity for candidates who have already submitted their CUET UG 2026 applications to update permitted details. After this deadline, no further corrections will be accepted under any circumstances.
📝 Who Can Use the Correction Window
This facility is available only to candidates who have:
- Successfully submitted their CUET UG form, and
- Paid the examination fee on time.
Those who haven’t completed both steps are not eligible to access the correction window.
✍️ Why It’s Important to Use the Correction Window
Many candidates make unintentional errors while filling out the initial CUET UG form — such as wrong category selection, incorrect exam city choices, or misplaced subject codes. These mistakes, if uncorrected, can lead to issues during the later stages of the exam or university admissions. This correction period helps avoid such problems and ensures smoother processing ahead of the test.
🔍 What Can Be Edited in the Application
NTA allows candidates to modify various fields in the application form during the correction window. Typically editable items include:
- Academic details (Class 10 and 12 information)
- Category and sub‑category
- Test subject choices
- Exam city preferences
- Programme/medium of examination
- Father’s and mother’s names
- PwD / quota claims (like NCC, sports, defence)
- Signature and certain document uploads, if permitted by the portal’s specifications
These changes help ensure that your application matches your current academic and personal information accurately before exam processing.
🚫 What Cannot Be Changed
Some crucial details are not editable even during the correction window. These include:
- Candidate’s name
- Mobile number
- Email address
- Date of birth
- Gender
- Residential address and emergency contacts
- Identity information (such as APAAR ID, Aadhaar details)
- Photograph (in most cases, unless NTA explicitly allows upload changes for specifications)
Candidates should double‑check these fields before the correction deadline, as they cannot be altered later.

📆 CUET UG 2026 Exam Schedule
