CUET PG 2025 counselling process remains unclear as universities follow separate timelines. Here is a guide to what students should do and who has released admission lists so far.

Confusion continues over CUET PG 2025 counselling, as several central and state universities are yet to release detailed admission schedules despite result announcements weeks ago. The absence of a unified counselling authority and inconsistent timelines have left thousands of CUET PG aspirants in a fix.

What’s the Current PG Admission Status?

As of July 31, major central universities like JNU and BHU have not published their admission calendar for PG courses based on CUET 2025 scores. In contrast, Delhi University released its second PG merit list under its Common Seat Allocation System (CSAS).

Universities are taking admission through individual CUET UG counselling. many PG aspirants were expecting a more centralised process this year, considering the scale of the exam conducted by NTA across disciplines.
