What is PU CET (UG) Application Form 2027?

Panjab University, Chandigarh, conducts PU CET (UG) every year to select students for B.Sc. (Medical), B.Sc. (Non-Medical), and B.Sc. (Mathematics) programmes at PU-affiliated colleges. The application form is the gateway to this selection process — students must register online, fill their academic and personal details, upload required documents, pay the fee, and choose exam centre preferences, all at cetug.puchd.ac.in.

For the 2027 cycle, Panjab University has not yet released official dates. In the previous cycle (2026), registration opened as early as November 14, 2025 and remained open until April 22, 2026, with the exam held on May 10, 2026. The 2027 application process is expected to follow a similar timeline, opening in late 2026 and closing in April 2027.

Note that PU CET (PG) — for postgraduate admissions — is a separate exam conducted at cetpg.puchd.ac.in with a different schedule. This article covers PU CET (UG) only.

PU CET (UG) Registration Trends — Last 5 Years

PU CET (UG) serves a regionally concentrated applicant pool — science-stream students seeking admission to Panjab University and its affiliated colleges in Chandigarh. Available data indicates a gradual upward trend in registrations, growing from approximately 4,500 in 2022 to over 5,000 in 2026. The 2026 cycle’s early registration opening (November 2025) likely contributed to a higher final registration count by giving students more lead time. For 2027, registrations are expected to continue their upward trajectory, with an estimated 5,500–6,000 students anticipated to apply as awareness of the exam grows.
