NTA Exam Calendar 2026–27 में क्या बदला?

National Testing Agency (NTA) ने 16 September 2026 को December 2026 से March 2027 तक का proposed examination calendar जारी किया। इसमें 14 examinations की tentative dates or date windows हैं। JEE (Main) Session 1 के लिए 22–24 और 28–30 January 2027 proposed हैं, जबकि 31 January buffer date है। जिन candidates का exam list में है, वे इस calendar को preparation और travel planning के लिए use करें, लेकिन final date मानकर non-refundable booking न करें।

NTA ने साफ लिखा है कि dates tentative हैं और administrative, academic, statutory, logistical या unforeseen circumstances में बदल सकती हैं। यह किसी exam का application notification नहीं है। Detailed Information Bulletin, application schedule, city intimation, admit card, answer key और result update संबंधित exam portal पर separately आएंगे।

December 2026 में कौन-से exams proposed हैं?

UGC NET window और Joint CSIR UGC NET dates पास-पास हैं, इसलिए candidates को exact subject/date exam-specific notice और admit card से confirm करनी होगी। Calendar केवल overall period देता है; subject-wise shift, city, centre, reporting time या candidate allocation नहीं देता।

  • Rashtriya Indian Military College (RIMC): 6 December 2026, one day
  • SWAYAM: 8–12 December 2026, five days
  • Rashtriya Military Schools: 13 December 2026, one day
  • UGC NET December Cycle: 14–19 December 2026; buffer 20–21 December, six exam days
  • Joint CSIR UGC NET December Cycle: 20–21 December 2026, two days

January और February 2027 का NTA schedule क्या है?

JEE Main के six exam days continuous नहीं हैं: official calendar 22–24 और 28–30 January लिखता है। 31 January को exam day के बजाय buffer बताया गया है। Candidate का exact paper, shift, city और centre later JEE Main communication से तय होगा।

  • Army Cadets College: 4 January 2027, one day
  • SHRESHTA (NETS): 10 January 2027, one day
  • NIFT Entrance Examination: 10 January 2027, one day
  • JEE (Main) Session 1: 22–24 and 28–30 January 2027; buffer 31 January, six exam days
  • All India Sainik Schools Entrance Examination: 31 January 2027, one day
  • Common Management Admission Test (CMAT): 7 February 2027, one day
  • National Initiative for Technical Teachers Training (NITTT) Part 1: 26–27 February 2027, two days

CUET PG और March 2027 dates कैसे पढ़ें?

Common University Entrance Test (Postgraduate), यानी CUET (PG), के लिए 1–5, 8, 12–20 और 24–25 March 2027 proposed हैं—कुल 17 exam days। 30–31 March buffer dates हैं। ये चार separate date blocks हैं; इनके बीच की हर calendar date exam day नहीं है। NITTT Part 2 के लिए 5 और 7 March 2027 proposed हैं।

Calendar candidate-wise CUET PG subject date या shift नहीं बताता। Application form, subject mapping, participating universities, eligibility, fee, correction window, city slip और admit card अलग bulletin or notice से verify करें। University admission rule और NTA entrance-test schedule एक ही चीज नहीं हैं।

अभी candidate को कौन-सा action लेना चाहिए?

NEET UG, CUET UG या किसी अन्य exam का नाम इस limited calendar में न होना cancellation या non-conduct का evidence नहीं है। Notice का scope केवल March 2027 तक proposed listed examinations है। Missing exam के लिए NTA or the relevant authority की separate official announcement का इंतजार करें।

  • Official PDF save करें और अपने exam की proposed window calendar में mark करें
  • Preparation plan में buffer रखें; tentative date पर irreversible travel या hotel payment से बचें
  • NTA Notice Board के साथ संबंधित exam portal weekly check करें
  • Application number, password, OTP और identity documents coaching group या agent से share न करें
  • Information Bulletin आने पर eligibility, fee, syllabus and application dates fresh verify करें
  • City slip को admit card न मानें; exact centre and reporting instructions admission certificate से check करें

Official-source verification और important caveat

This update was checked on 17 September 2026 against the full two-page NTA public notice dated 16 September and its live Notice Board listing। Page 1 defines the calendar as tentative and says exam-specific notices will follow; page 2 carries the 14-entry date table।

A later NTA corrigendum, Information Bulletin, exam-portal notice or candidate-specific admit card controls over this summary। Always verify the nta.ac.in domain or the official exam subdomain before applying, paying a fee or downloading a document।

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

क्या NTA Exam Calendar 2026–27 की dates final हैं?

No। NTA explicitly calls the dates tentative and says they may change for administrative, academic, statutory, logistical or unforeseen reasons।

JEE Main Session 1 2027 कब proposed है?

The proposed exam days are 22–24 and 28–30 January 2027। NTA lists 31 January as a buffer date, not one of the six regular exam days।

CUET PG 2027 का proposed window क्या है?

CUET PG is proposed for 1–5, 8, 12–20 and 24–25 March 2027, with 30–31 March shown as buffer dates।

क्या calendar ही application notification है?

No। NTA says detailed Information Bulletins and exam-specific notices, including application schedules, will be issued separately।

NEET UG या CUET UG list में नहीं है तो क्या exam cancel है?

No। Absence from this limited December-to-March calendar does not establish cancellation। Wait for the relevant official NTA notice or exam portal update।
