CUET UG 2026 Photo Correction Window Extended Till April 16; Upload Certificate Now

The National Testing Agency (NTA) has extended the deadline for submitting photo verification certificates for CUET UG 2026 candidates experiencing photo mismatches. The revised submission window now runs from April 10 to April 16, 2026, providing additional time for affected candidates to complete the verification process.

Candidates must download the certificate format, get it duly attested by a competent authority, and upload it through the official CUET portal at examinationservices.nic.in.

The photo verification certificate is mandatory for candidates whose uploaded photographs do not match the live photo captured during CUET registration. This applies to both non-Aadhaar candidates and those using Aadhaar/DigiLocker verification.

The certificate must include a recent duly certified photograph and proper attestation. Candidates must produce a printed copy of the uploaded certificate at the examination centre for physical verification on exam day.
