Students who qualify CUEE 2026 must carry a specific set of original documents to the CUTM counselling centre to verify eligibility and complete seat acceptance — missing even one document can result in cancellation of the allotted seat.
Centurion University of Technology and Management (CUTM) conducts the Centurion University Entrance Exam (CUEE) for admissions to BTech, MBA, MCA, MTech, and other programmes. After results are declared, shortlisted students are called for document verification and counselling. Preparing your document file in advance prevents last-minute rejections and ensures a smooth reporting experience at the CUTM campus.
- Carry originals plus two sets of self-attested photocopies of every document on this list.
- Your CUEE 2026 admit card and rank card are the primary identity proofs at counselling.
- Students claiming reservation must carry a valid category certificate (SC/ST/OBC-NCL/EWS) issued by a competent authority.
- Seat acceptance is complete only after payment of the seat acceptance fee and deposit of original certificates.
- Do not laminate originals — laminated documents may be rejected during verification.

Category-Wise Additional Documents
Students from reserved categories or special quotas must bring additional certificates to CUTM counselling. Category certificates must be issued by a competent authority (Tehsildar or above) and must be valid for the current financial year (2026–27).
| Category / Quota | Additional Document Required |
|---|---|
| SC / ST | Caste certificate issued by competent authority |
| OBC Non-Creamy Layer | OBC-NCL certificate valid for financial year 2026–27 |
| EWS (Economically Weaker Section) | Income and asset certificate from competent authority |
| Persons with Disability (PwD) | Disability certificate from government hospital (minimum 40% disability) |
| Defence / Ex-Serviceman Ward | Service certificate or discharge certificate of the parent |
| Sports Quota | Sports achievement certificate from district or state authority |
| NRI / NRI-Sponsored | Sponsor’s passport copy, visa copy, and notarised sponsorship declaration |
If your category certificate has expired or was issued before April 2026, obtain a fresh one before the counselling date. Outdated certificates will result in denial of reservation benefits during CUTM admission.
Documents for Seat Acceptance
After document verification, students who wish to confirm their allotted seat must complete additional formalities at the CUTM admission office. Seat acceptance is finalised only after fee payment and deposit of required original documents.
| Step | Action at CUTM Counselling |
|---|---|
| 1 | Report to the counselling venue on the allotted date and slot |
| 2 | Submit document file to the verification committee |
| 3 | Collect acknowledgement receipt after successful verification |
| 4 | Pay the seat acceptance fee at the counter or via the CUEE portal |
| 5 | Deposit original certificates to be retained by the university |
| 6 | Sign and submit the anti-ragging affidavit and filled admission form |
| 7 | Collect your admission confirmation slip |
The following original documents are typically deposited with CUTM and returned only after programme completion: Class 10 certificate, Class 12 marksheet and passing certificate, Transfer Certificate, and Migration Certificate (where applicable). Keep photocopies of all deposited documents with yourself.
Tips for Document Preparation
A well-organised document file speeds up CUEE 2026 counselling and avoids rejections at the verification counter.
- Self-attest correctly: Sign each photocopy and write "Self-Attested" on it. Notarisation is not required unless CUTM specifically asks.
- Arrange in checklist order: Keep documents in the same sequence as the checklist table so the verification officer can process your file faster.
- Carry extra photographs: Bring at least 8 recent passport-size photographs — white or light-coloured background as typically required by CUTM.
- Maintain a digital backup: Save scanned copies of all documents on your phone or email so you can quickly produce replacements if an original is misplaced.
- Verify certificate validity dates: OBC-NCL and EWS certificates must be valid for the 2026–27 financial year; renew them before the counselling date if needed.
- Do not laminate originals: Lamination makes certificates harder to verify and may cause them to be rejected at the counter.
- Keep the fee receipt safe: The seat acceptance fee payment receipt is needed for hostel allotment, library registration, and student ID card processing.
