Yes, there will be entrance exams for both Psychology and Microbiology in 2026 and 2027. Most central and many state universities take admission through CUET-PG for both courses. Apart from CUET, some universities like TISS, BHU, and a few state universities may conduct their own entrance exams. So, if you're planning for either subject, you'll have options to apply through national-level or university-level exams.
