The National Testing Agency (NTA) has released a comprehensive advisory for candidates taking the CUET UG 2026 examination, emphasizing a strict dress code and specific exam day protocols. Candidates are required to wear light-colored, half-sleeved clothing without large buttons or multiple pockets, while footwear must be limited to slippers or low-heeled sandals, as shoes and boots are not allowed. To facilitate security checks, students must arrive at the exam centres well in advance, particularly those who need to wear special clothing for religious reasons, who should report at least one hour early. Additionally, candidates must bring a printed admit card, a valid government photo ID, and a passport-size photograph. The NTA has banned all electronic devices, including mobile phones and smartwatches, as well as stationery items like calculators and loose papers within the exam hall. Importantly, those arriving after the gate closing time will not be allowed entry under any circumstances.
