PU CET PG 2026 Admit Card — What to Check Before Leaving
The PU CET PG 2026 admit card is available for download from June 14, 2026 at cetpg.puchd.ac.in. You need your registered login ID and password to access it. If you cannot download your admit card online, Panjab University issues manual admit cards on June 16, 2026 at the university office.
Before heading to the exam centre, verify every detail on your printed hall ticket. Any discrepancy should be flagged to the CET Cell immediately — once the form was submitted, no changes were permitted, but factual errors in printing must be resolved before the exam day.
| Detail on Admit Card | What to Verify |
|---|---|
| Name and Photograph | Must match your government photo ID exactly |
| Roll Number | Your unique identifier — note it separately in case the printout is lost |
| Exam Centre Name and Address | One of four centres: Chandigarh, Ludhiana, Hoshiarpur or Muktsar |
| Exam Date and Timing | June 19, 20 or 21, 2026 — note your exact slot and plan travel accordingly |
| Subject and Paper Code | Confirm it matches the course you applied for |
| Invigilator Signature Space | Left blank — will be signed by the invigilator on exam day |
A printed copy of the admit card is compulsory. Soft copies on a phone or tablet are not accepted at entry. Print on plain white A4 paper and ensure the photograph is clearly visible — blurred or cut-off photographs may cause problems at the gate.
Reporting Time and Gate Closure Rules
Students must reach the exam centre 60 to 90 minutes before the scheduled test start time. This window covers the time needed for document verification, security frisking and finding your assigned seat. Arriving late causes unnecessary stress and risks being denied entry.
The gate closes 15 minutes before the exam starts and no student is allowed in after that point, regardless of the reason for delay. Students who have registered for multiple papers must confirm there is no timing clash across their papers — Panjab University does not reschedule papers after the application form has been locked.
| Activity | Timing Guideline |
|---|---|
| Arrive at the exam centre | 60–90 minutes before exam start time |
| Document verification and frisking | Conducted at the main gate before entry to the hall |
| Gate closure | 15 minutes before the exam start time — no entry after this |
| Test start time | As printed on your admit card — varies by paper and date |
Documents to Carry on Exam Day
Carry all required items on each exam day. Missing any compulsory document — particularly the admit card or photo ID — means you will not be allowed inside the exam hall.
| Item | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Printed PU CET PG 2026 Admit Card | Mandatory — printed copy only; digital copies not accepted |
| Valid Government Photo ID (original) | Mandatory — Aadhaar, PAN Card, Voter ID, Passport or Driving Licence |
| Two Passport-Size Photographs | Recent photographs identical to the one uploaded during registration |
| Black or Blue Ballpoint Pen | For filling the OMR answer sheet — gel pens and pencils are not allowed |
| Transparent Water Bottle | Permitted inside the hall; opaque bottles are not allowed |
| Category or PwD Certificate (if applicable) | Required in original; PwD students need it to claim compensatory time |
Your photo ID must be in original — photocopies are not accepted. Ensure your admit card photograph is clearly printed and matches the ID you carry. Bring the same ID you entered during registration wherever possible.
Prohibited Items at the Exam Centre
Students found with prohibited items will be reported for use of unfair means, which can result in cancellation of their result. Do not carry any of the following to the exam centre — not even in your bag outside the hall.
| Category | Prohibited Items |
|---|---|
| Electronic Devices | Mobile phones, tablets, smartwatches, Bluetooth earphones, wireless accessories, programmable devices |
| Calculation Aids | Calculators, log tables, printed notes, study material, cheat sheets |
| Writing Instruments | Pencils, gel pens, markers, correction fluid — only ballpoint pen is allowed |
| Accessories | Metallic jewellery, large belt buckles, metallic hair pins — may trigger security screening |
| Food and Beverages | Packed food, opaque water bottles — only transparent bottles are permitted |
Inside the exam hall you are permitted to carry only your admit card, original photo ID, two photographs, a ballpoint pen and a transparent water bottle. Invigilators have the authority to conduct checks at any point during the test.
General Conduct and Entry Guidelines
Panjab University enforces a strict code of conduct during PU CET PG 2026 to maintain a fair examination environment. All students must follow these rules from the moment they arrive at the centre:
- Dress comfortably and modestly. Avoid full-sleeve outerwear or multiple layers of clothing that may raise concerns during security frisking.
- You may not leave the exam hall during the test without explicit permission from the invigilator.
- Rough work must be done only in the designated space within the question booklet — not on the OMR sheet.
- Fill your OMR sheet using a black or blue ballpoint pen only. Pencil markings will not be scanned and your answers will not be recorded.
- Students appearing in multiple papers must have already verified there is no timing clash — no rescheduling is possible after the application was locked.
- PwD students with a valid certificate are eligible for compensatory time — carry the certificate in original.
- The invigilator will stamp or sign your admit card at the start of the session. Do not leave the hall without this done as it serves as proof of attendance.
- Any attempt to communicate with other students or refer to unauthorised material during the test will be treated as use of unfair means.
