- 3 min read
A major relief has arrived for admission aspirants applying to Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University, as the university has officially extended the registration deadline for IP University CET 2026 and other admission categories. Candidates who missed the earlier closing date now have extra time, because the fresh final deadline for online registration is 11 April 2026 (11:59 PM) instead of the earlier 31 March 2026.
The extension applies not only to courses where admission is based on the Common Entrance Test (CET), but also to programmes where admission happens through:
national-level entrance tests
merit-based admission
qualifying examination marks
This update has become highly important because many students were still completing document uploads, category certificates, and fee payment when the original deadline approached. The university has now given an additional window to avoid missing the 2026 admission cycle.
Fresh Revised Admission Timeline
Event | Date |
Registration Start | 2 February 2026 |
Earlier Last Date | 31 March 2026 |
Revised Last Date | 11 April 2026 |
CET Exam Window | 25 April to 17 May 2026 |
The extension is active across the university admission portal and applies immediately.
Which Admissions Are Covered Under This Extension
The revised deadline covers three major admission pathways.
CET-Based Courses
Courses where IP University conducts its own entrance exam.
National-Level Test-Based Courses
Admissions through exams such as:
JEE
NEET
CUET
CLAT
CAT (where applicable)
Merit-Based Courses
Programmes where qualifying marks determine admission.
This means students across UG, PG, and professional programmes all benefit from the extension.
Why The Deadline Was Extended
University officials extended the date after receiving requests from applicants facing last-week issues such as:
incomplete document uploads
payment delays
portal congestion
confusion over course codes
This additional period helps ensure wider participation before CET scheduling begins.
IPU CET 2026 Exam Window Remains Unchanged
Even though registration has been extended, the examination calendar remains unchanged.
CET exams will run from:
25 April 2026 to 17 May 2026
This means candidates should not delay preparation simply because the form deadline moved forward.
Application Fee Candidates Must Pay
The registration fee remains:
₹2500
This applies to most admission categories under the current cycle.
The fee must be paid online through:
debit card
credit card
net banking
UPI

Important For Students Applying Through CET

BBA
BCA
BJMC
MBA-linked streams
law programmes
design courses
Even with deadline extension, seat competition remains strong.
Why This Extension Matters For Delhi-NCR Students
A large number of applicants from Delhi and nearby states wait until final week because they compare:
CUET options
IPU direct admissions
private college admissions
This extension gives one more chance before parallel entrance schedules intensify.
Admit Card Window Expected Soon
Because exams begin late April, admit cards are expected shortly after the registration closes.
Students should keep login credentials secure after form submission.
Common Mistakes Still Happening During Registration
Avoid:
wrong CET code selection
incorrect email ID
uploading unclear certificates
incomplete fee confirmation
Many candidates submit forms but miss final payment confirmation.
Why Students Should Not Wait Until April 11 Night
Even with extension, last-day traffic can cause:
