CUET PG candidates are encouraged to review all applicable eligibility requirements, including age limits, course enrollment-specific requirements, nationality requirements, and other crucial minimum eligibility requirements, before submitting their applications online. It is expected that there would be no age restriction for applicants competing in CUET (PG) 2024, in line with the pattern of the previous year. For the CUET (PG) 2024 examination, candidates who have passed the bachelor's degree or equivalent examination or who are appearing in 2024, regardless of age, may apply. Nonetheless, in order to be considered for admission, candidates must meet the age requirements specified by the university.

Under the Societies Registration Act (1860), the Ministry of Education (MoE) of the Government of India (GOI) established the National Testing Agency (NTA) as an independent, autonomous, and self-sustaining premier testing organisation. The NTA's purpose is to conduct international standards tests that are transparent, efficient, and measure candidates' competency for admission to elite higher education institutions. The responsibility of administering the Central University Entrance Test (CUET) for Post Graduate (PG) programmes has been delegated to the National Testing Agency (NTA). The CUET PG exam is entirely under the control of the NTA which is the conducting body; from registration to results announcement.
