On April 7, 2026, the National Testing Agency (NTA) released an advisory for candidates of the Common University Entrance Test Undergraduate (CUET UG) 2026, highlighting issues with photo mismatches in applications. The NTA found discrepancies in applications where candidates used identity proofs other than Aadhaar, leading to mismatched photographs. To address this, a verification process has been established for affected candidates, who must upload a recent photograph along with a signed and attested certificate by April 10, 2026, at 10:00 PM. This certificate can be verified by the principal of their school or college, or alternatively, by a Gazetted Officer, MLA, or MP if institutional verification is not possible. Candidates are encouraged to complete this process promptly to avoid complications during the examination, which is scheduled to take place between May 13 and May 31, 2026. For further assistance, candidates can contact the NTA Help Desk or check the official website for updates.
