To register for CUET UG 2027, you need your Class 10 and 12 documents, a valid photo ID, a recent passport-sized photograph, your scanned signature, and category certificates if applicable.
CUET UG 2027, conducted by NTA, is the gateway to undergraduate admissions at central universities and hundreds of other participating institutions. The registration process is fully online, and all supporting documents are uploaded as digital copies — no physical submission is needed at this stage. Originals are verified only at the time of admission by the respective university.
- Documents are uploaded in JPG/JPEG format during online registration at exams.nta.ac.in/CUET-UG.
- Category certificates must be issued by a competent government authority — self-declarations are not accepted.
- Students appearing in Class 12 in 2026–27 can apply and submit a school-issued appearing certificate in place of a mark sheet.
- Keep 6–8 printed copies of your photograph for use at the exam centre, counselling, and document verification.

CUET UG 2027 Registration Documents Overview
CUET UG 2027 registration is expected to open in early 2027, based on previous-year patterns. Having every document ready before the window opens helps you complete the form in one sitting and avoid errors that can delay your application. All uploads happen inside the online form — no courier or in-person submission is required at the registration stage.
The documents you need fall into three groups: personal identity proof, academic eligibility proof, and category-specific certificates for reserved-category students. Students who are still in Class 12 and have not yet received their final mark sheet can apply under the "appearing" status by uploading a school-issued certificate confirming their enrollment.

Photo and Signature Specifications for CUET UG 2027
Uploading a photograph or signature that does not meet NTA’s file specifications is one of the most common reasons for form rejection. Check the table below before scanning or capturing your images.
| Specification | Photograph | Signature |

| File Size | 10 KB – 200 KB | 4 KB – 30 KB |

Category-wise Documents Required for CUET UG 2027
If you belong to a reserved category, your certificate must be issued by the appropriate government authority. Certificates issued at the state level are accepted; you do not need to get them reissued at the central level for registration.
| Category | Certificate Required | Issuing Authority |
|---|---|---|
| SC | Scheduled Caste Certificate | Tehsildar / SDM / District Magistrate |
| ST | Scheduled Tribe Certificate | Tehsildar / SDM / District Magistrate |
| OBC-NCL | OBC Non-Creamy Layer Certificate | Tehsildar / SDM (should not be older than 1 year at time of admission) |

| PwBD | PwBD Certificate stating disability type and percentage | Civil Surgeon / Government Medical Board |
| NRI / OCI | NRI / OCI Card or passport copy with valid visa | Indian Embassy / FRRO |
Note for OBC-NCL and EWS students: The certificate uploaded during registration is used for fee concession. For actual reservation benefits at admission, most universities require a fresh certificate issued in the current year at the time of document verification. Plan to get an updated certificate before counselling begins.

CUET UG 2027 Registration Documents FAQs

Ans. You need your Class 10 certificate for date of birth proof, Class 12 mark sheet or appearing certificate for academic eligibility, a recent passport-sized photograph, a scanned signature, and a valid photo ID such as Aadhaar or PAN. Reserved-category students also need their SC, ST, OBC-NCL, EWS, or PwBD certificate as applicable.

Ans. Yes. Students appearing in their Class 12 board exams in 2026–27 are eligible to register under the appearing category. You submit a school-issued certificate confirming you are enrolled and appearing in the board exam, rather than a mark sheet.
Ques. What are the photo specifications for CUET UG 2027?

Ques. Is Aadhaar card mandatory for CUET UG 2027 registration?
Ans. Aadhaar is preferred but not mandatory. You can use any valid government-issued photo ID — PAN card, passport, or driving licence. You enter the ID number in the registration form; you do not upload a scan of the ID document itself.
Ques. How old can my OBC-NCL certificate be for CUET UG 2027?
Ans. For the registration fee concession, the certificate does not need to be freshly issued. However, most universities require an OBC-NCL certificate that is not older than one year at the time of document verification during admission. It is advisable to get a fresh certificate before the counselling process begins.
Ques. Can I edit or replace uploaded documents after submitting the CUET UG 2027 form?
Ans. NTA usually opens a correction window after the main registration period closes, during which limited changes to uploaded documents and form details are permitted. The correction window dates and allowed changes are announced on the official CUET UG portal. It is best to upload correct documents the first time to avoid issues.
