Overview
- First session is scheduled for April 2026 with a second in May, with a detailed timetable to be issued by the CET Cell.

- The change also applies to the MBA/MMS CET for management admissions beginning in the 2026–27 cycle.
- From 2027, the two sessions are planned to be spaced about six months apart to allow more preparation time.
