For CUET UG 2026, the basic eligibility is quite simple. Candidates must have passed or be appearing in Class 12 (10+2) or an equivalent examination from a recognised board such as CBSE, ICSE, State Boards, or other approved institutions. There is no fixed upper age limit set by NTA, so students of any age who meet the Class 12 requirement can apply, although individual universities may have their own age or admission rules. In terms of academic conditions, some universities may require minimum marks (generally around 50% for General and 45% for reserved categories), but CUET itself does not strictly enforce a single cutoff for all. Subject requirements also depend on the course you choose, meaning you must follow the specific eligibility rules of the university and program you are applying for.
