DU JAT Exam Dates 2027: Registration Expected January 2027, Important Dates and CUET UG Schedule

The DU JAT 2027 exam dates have not yet been officially announced by the National Testing Agency (NTA). Since the 2022–23 admission session, the Delhi University Joint Admission Test (DU JAT) has been replaced by CUET UG (Common University Entrance Test — Undergraduate). Students seeking admission to BMS, BBA (FIA), BA (Hons) Business Economics, and B.Tech programmes at University of Delhi must now appear in CUET UG 2027, which NTA is expected to conduct in May–June 2027. The full schedule will be published at cuet.nta.nic.in in the first week of January 2027.

• DU JAT 2027 Exam Date (Expected): May–June 2027 through CUET UG; NTA’s information bulletin, which locks the official dates, is expected in the first week of January 2027.
• Registration Window (Expected): January to February 2027 at cuet.nta.nic.in; in 2026, the window opened January 3 and originally closed January 30 before being extended to February 7.
• City Intimation Slip (Expected): April 2027; NTA released the 2026 slip on April 29, about two weeks before the May 11 exam start.
• Admit Card (Expected): Early May 2027; in 2026 the admit card was released roughly 10 days before the exam’s first shift.
• Answer Key, Result & Counselling (Expected): Provisional answer key in June 2027; result in June–July 2027; DU CSAS (Common Seat Allotment System) counselling in July–August 2027.
• Key Transition Since 2022: Standalone DU JAT was last held on September 27, 2021; all DU undergraduate admissions — including management and technology programmes — now route through CUET UG scores.

For all the current updates, you should regularly visit the official websites cuet.nta.nic.in and du.ac.in, for official information regarding final dates and schedule.

What are the DU JAT 2027 Exam Dates?

DU JAT 2027 follows the CUET UG 2027 schedule set by NTA. The event-wise calendar below walks through each milestone from registration to DU counselling.

DU JAT 2027 Registration Window: January–February 2027 (Expected)

CUET UG 2027 registration — and, by extension, DU JAT 2027 registration — is expected to open in the first week of January 2027 when NTA publishes the information bulletin at cuet.nta.nic.in. Students must create an NTA account, fill in personal and academic details, select their preferred test cities, and choose their subject combination based on the DU programme they are targeting. The registration fee varies by number of subjects and category.

• Expected Start Date: First week of January 2027
• Expected Last Date: January–February 2027 (exact date to be notified)
• Action Required: Register at cuet.nta.nic.in; select General Test + relevant domain subject(s); pay application fee before the deadline

Ques. What subjects should students choose in CUET UG 2027 for DU BMS and BBA (FIA) admission?

DU JAT 2027 Application Form Correction: February–March 2027 (Expected)

After the registration window closes, NTA typically opens a short correction window — usually 2 to 3 days — during which students can edit certain filled-in details such as subject choices, exam city preferences, and personal information. Once the correction window closes, no further changes are permitted under any circumstances, so students should double-check every field before the window ends.

• Expected Dates: February–March 2027 (1–2 weeks after registration closes)
• Action Required: Log in to cuet.nta.nic.in; review all form fields; make necessary edits before the window closes
• Reference (2026): Correction window was open February 9–11, 2026; NTA also opened a special subject-change window April 17–19, 2026

DU JAT 2027 City Intimation Slip: April 2027 (Expected)

NTA releases an advance city intimation slip before the admit card so students can confirm which exam city they have been allotted and make travel and accommodation arrangements in advance. The city intimation slip does not carry the exam centre’s full address — the admit card does. Students access the slip through the CUET portal using their application number and date of birth.

• Expected Date: Late April 2027 (approximately 2–3 weeks before the exam start)
• Action Required: Download the slip from cuet.nta.nic.in; verify the allotted city; plan travel if the city is different from the preferred choice
• Reference (2026): City intimation slip was released on April 29, 2026 — about 12 days before the May 11 exam start

DU JAT 2027 Admit Card Release Date: Early May 2027 (Expected)

The CUET UG 2027 admit card (hall ticket) for DU JAT 2027 will be released approximately 10–14 days before the exam start on the official NTA CUET portal. It carries the student’s name, application number, photograph, exam centre address, exam date, shift, and reporting time. Students must bring a printed copy to the exam hall along with a valid photo ID — no digital copy is accepted.

• Expected Date: Early May 2027 (10–14 days before exam start)
• Action Required: Download from cuet.nta.nic.in; print a clear copy; check all details for accuracy; carry it to the exam centre
• Shift Reporting Times: Shift 1 — report by 7:00 AM for a 9:00 AM exam; Shift 2 — report by 1:00 PM for a 3:00 PM exam

Note: Report to the exam centre at least 90 minutes before the shift start time. Late entry is not permitted under any circumstances — even if the student holds a valid admit card. NTA strictly enforces gate closure at the reporting deadline.

DU JAT 2027 Exam Date (CUET UG 2027): May–June 2027 (Expected)

The DU JAT 2027 exam — conducted as CUET UG 2027 by NTA — is expected to take place across multiple days in May and June 2027. The Computer-Based Test (CBT) runs in two shifts daily: Shift 1 from 9:00 AM to 12:15 PM and Shift 2 from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM. Students are assigned a specific date and shift based on their exam city and subject combination; the date and shift are printed on the admit card and cannot be changed at the student’s request.

• Expected Exam Window: May–June 2027
• Test Mode: Computer-Based Test (CBT) at NTA-designated exam centres nationwide
• Shift 1: 9:00 AM – 12:15 PM (report by 7:00 AM)
• Shift 2: 3:00 PM – 6:00 PM (report by 1:00 PM)
• Reference (2026): CUET UG 2026 was held May 11–31, 2026 and June 6–7, 2026

Ques. What is the exam pattern for DU JAT 2027 (CUET UG)?

DU JAT 2027 Answer Key Release: June 2027 (Expected)

NTA releases a provisional answer key within 3–5 days of the last exam date. Students can view their responses and compare them against the provisional key on the CUET portal. If a student believes a question has an incorrect answer or the question itself is flawed, they can raise an objection by paying a per-question challenge fee. NTA’s subject experts review all objections, and a final answer key is released before the result — once the final key is published, no further challenges are accepted.

• Expected Date: June 2027 (within 3–5 days of exam conclusion)
• Action Required: Download provisional answer key; compare with attempted responses; file objections (if any) within the objection window with supporting evidence and challenge fee
• Reference (2025): CUET UG 2025 provisional answer key was released within a week of the June 3 exam end date

DU JAT 2027 Result Date: June–July 2027 (Expected)

NTA declares the CUET UG result as a score and percentile for each subject attempted. For DU admissions, the university uses these scores — along with its own programme-specific weightage formula — to generate a merit list. The raw score in each paper, the CUET percentile, and the number of attempts in a given subject are all publicly available in the scorecard. Students must download the scorecard from the NTA portal and upload it during DU’s CSAS registration.

• Expected Date: June–July 2027 (3–4 weeks after the exam concludes)
• Action Required: Download CUET UG 2027 scorecard from cuet.nta.nic.in; retain it for DU CSAS registration and all other university applications
• Reference (2025): CUET UG 2025 result was declared on July 4, 2025

DU JAT 2027 Counselling Schedule: July–August 2027 (Expected)

University of Delhi runs the CSAS (Common Seat Allotment System) portal for undergraduate seat allotment across all DU colleges and programmes. After CUET UG 2027 results are declared, DU opens the CSAS portal for programme preference locking. Students must register on the DU CSAS portal, submit their CUET UG scores, and arrange their preferred programme–college combinations in order of preference. Seat allotment happens in multiple rounds, with students required to accept, upgrade, or forfeit their allotment within the stipulated timeframe per round.

• Expected Start: July 2027 (following CUET UG result declaration)
• Expected Completion: August 2027 (before the academic year begins)
• Action Required: Register on DU CSAS portal; submit CUET UG scores; lock and rank programme–college preferences; respond to each round’s allotment within the deadline
• Key Colleges for BMS/BBA (FIA): Shaheed Sukhdev College of Business Studies (SSCBS), Keshav Mahavidyalaya, Deen Dayal Upadhyaya College — seat allotment is based on CSAS merit, not a separate interview or group discussion

Ques. Is there any separate DU JAT counselling, or is it part of the CSAS process?

Year-wise DU JAT Exam Dates and Trends

The table below presents the year-wise exam dates for DU JAT / CUET UG from 2021 to 2026, arranged in descending order. The 2021 entry is the last standalone DU JAT; all subsequent entries reflect CUET UG as the admission mechanism. The dominant trend — a stable May–June exam window from 2023 to 2026 — forms the basis for the 2027 projection.

Three consistent patterns emerge from this data. First, the exam window has stabilised in May–June for four consecutive years (2023–2026) after the anomalous July–August debut in 2022, which was caused by the infrastructure and logistics demands of launching a new large-scale national exam. Second, the exam duration has expanded from 3 days (2024’s compressed Hybrid format) to 3–4 weeks (2023, 2025, 2026 CBT format) as the number of registered students and participating universities grew. Third, results have consistently followed 4–6 weeks after the exam end date, placing the 2027 result firmly in the June–July window.

Ques. When was the last standalone DU JAT conducted?

Will DU JAT 2027 Be Conducted as a Separate Exam Again?

As of September 2026, there is no indication from the University of Delhi or the Ministry of Education that DU will revert to the standalone DU JAT format for the 2027–28 admission cycle. CUET UG has been the mandated mechanism for all Central University undergraduate admissions since 2022, and DU has consistently used CUET UG scores for its seat allotment across all programmes, including BMS, BBA (FIA), and BA (Hons) Business Economics. Students preparing for DU’s management programmes in 2027 should focus exclusively on CUET UG 2027.

• Official mandate: The Ministry of Education’s directive requiring central universities to use CUET UG remains in effect; no change has been announced for 2027.
• No separate registration: There is no separate DU JAT registration portal; all students must register at cuet.nta.nic.in.
• Syllabus alignment: CUET UG’s General Test and domain subjects cover the same broad areas (Quantitative Reasoning, Logical Reasoning, General Awareness, and subject-specific content) that the old DU JAT used to test.
• If any change is announced: It would appear first on du.ac.in and cuet.nta.nic.in; students should monitor both sites.

Ques. Will DU JAT 2027 have a paper-based mode like CUET UG 2024?

Countdown to DU JAT 2027 Exam Date
