CUCAT Counselling Procedure 2026: Registration Date, Seat Allotment, Admission

By Porishmita Paul, Associate Senior Executive

CUCAT 2026 Counselling - The University of Calicut will put out the CUCAT 2026 counselling schedule after they announce the results. You can find this schedule on the official website for the exam, so keep checking there. The CUCAT 2026 counselling will probably happen in August, which means the CUCAT results will be out before that, probably in July 2026. The actual CUCAT exam itself is expected to take place in May 2026.

During the CUCAT counselling process, students who are on the merit list must finish the admission formalities. They do this by showing up for the counselling session to get all their documents verified and pay the fees for their first semester. After the CUCAT 2026 counselling process finishes, the students who bring and show all the necessary papers and have paid the tuition fee will get their seats for the courses they chose at the university. You can learn everything else about the CUCAT 2026 counselling process in the article below.
