IPU CET 2026 from April 25: Admit Cards to Be Released 5 Days Before Exam

GGSIPU CET 2026: Countdown to the April 25 Exam Start
If you've been grinding away for the IP University entrance exams, it's time to mark your calendar in bold ink. Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University (GGSIPU) has confirmed that the IPU CET 2026 will run from April 25 to May 17, 2026. For some courses, the window extends as late as May 23.
The biggest update right now? The admit cards are scheduled for release on April 20, 2026. This follows the university's tradition of putting out hall tickets exactly five days before the examination cycle begins. You'll need your login credentials handy to snag your copy from the official portal.

How to Download Your Admit Card on April 20
Don’t wait until the morning of the 25th to check your center. Starting April 20, follow these steps:
- Head over to the official university website at ipu.ac.in or cet.ggsipu.ac.in.
- Look for the 'IPU CET 2026 Admit Card' link on the homepage.
- Enter your User ID and Password (or application number and DOB) that you used during registration.
- Download and print at least two copies of the E-Admit Card.
Pro tip: If your photo doesn't show up on the admit card, bring two recent passport-size photos with you to the center to avoid a last-minute panic.
Exam Day Checklist: Don’t Get Barred
IP University is pretty strict about its protocols. Make sure you have these items in your bag before you leave the house:
- Physical Admit Card: Digital copies on your phone won't cut it.
- Valid ID Proof: A government-issued ID like an Aadhaar Card, Voter ID, or Passport is mandatory.
- Reporting Time: Aim to reach your center at least 30 to 60 minutes before the shift starts. For a 10:00 AM exam, try to be there by 9:00 AM.
Conclusion
With the registration window now closed as of April 11, the focus shifts entirely to the exam. Whether you're heading to a center in Delhi/NCR or one of the outstation locations like Chandigarh or Kolkata (available for May 9-10 exams), keep your hall ticket safe. The competition for GGSIPU’s professional programs is fierce, so use these final days to hit the mock tests and polish your core subjects. Good luck—your 2026-2027 academic journey starts in just a few days!
