CUET 2026 – Documents for UG & PG Candidates

For both CUET UG and CUET PG, candidates primarily upload scanned images of their photograph, signature and identity documents at the application stage, and later must produce original certificates, mark sheets and category proofs at counselling and admission.

Always read the latest NTA CUET UG and CUET PG information bulletins, application guidelines, admit cards and individual university counselling notices, as they specify the final list of acceptable documents and file size rules for your session.
