Overview
- The National Testing Agency released the tentative December 2026–March 2027 calendar on Thursday to show proposed windows and buffer days for national entrance and eligibility exams.
- The UGC‑NET December cycle is listed for December 14–19, with December 20–21 kept as buffer days and the Joint CSIR‑UGC NET set for December 20–21.
- JEE Main Session 1 is proposed across two windows, January 22–24 and January 28–30, with January 31 designated as a buffer date to manage disruptions.
- CUET‑PG is scheduled in multiple March blocks (March 1–5, March 8–20, March 24–25), CMAT is shown for February 7, and the calendar also lists NITTT parts, Army Cadets College and several school-level tests.
- NTA stressed the dates are provisional and not formal notifications; candidates must wait for exam-specific bulletins for registration, centres and admit cards and institutions should plan admissions calendars with those caveats in mind.
