Fee figures are disputed between sources: Collegedunia and CollegeDekho give Rs 1,200 for general candidates and Rs 300 for reserved Haryana categories, while Aglasem lists Rs 700 and Rs 400 for the same cycle. Nothing in this table was read on a Kurukshetra University notice, so verify the amount in the current prospectus before paying. The entrance test structure, number of questions, marks and duration were not established by any source read for this page.

Every row here comes from CollegeDekho, Collegedunia or Aglasem rather than from a Kurukshetra University notice, and the two sources disagree on when the portal opened. The official admission notices page and the IUMS portal did not return current listings when checked on 22 September 2026, so no date below should be treated as confirmed.

Kurukshetra University postgraduate admission is not one entrance test, and that is what candidates most often get wrong. Depending on the programme, the deciding score comes from CUET PG, from the university's own entrance test, from CAT or CMAT, from GATE, or from the qualifying degree alone. Preparing for the wrong instrument, or assuming one application covers all of them, is the standard failure here.
For M.A, M.Sc and M.Com the university accepts either a CUET PG score or its own PG entrance test, which means the decision of which to sit is made months before the application window opens, since CUET PG registration runs on the National Testing Agency's national calendar and not on the university's. MBA candidates need CAT or CMAT and must also clear a group discussion and personal interview, a stage that no written score substitutes for. M.Tech runs on GATE. B.Ed is decided on qualifying-degree marks with no test at all. Establish which of these applies to your specific programme in the prospectus first; everything else in your preparation follows from that answer.
Reported dates place the 2026 postgraduate entrance tests between 22 June and 8 July, with the exact day varying by programme. A window of that length means the admit card, not the published range, is the document that tells a candidate when and where to appear, and it also means candidates applying for two or more programmes can face sittings a fortnight apart. If you are applying across multiple departments, list the programmes and check for date clashes at the application stage rather than after the schedule is issued, because the university publishes department-level timetables and does not offer an alternative sitting for a clash of your own making.
Collegedunia reports that candidates holding UGC NET, CSIR NET, GATE or JRF may be exempt from the entrance requirement, depending on the programme. Where an exemption applies it usually also affects merit ordering, with qualified candidates placed ahead of entrance-test candidates in the list. Anyone holding one of these qualifications should check the exemption clause in the prospectus before preparing for a test they may not need to sit, and should ensure the certificate is uploaded at the application stage, since a claim made only at counselling is frequently rejected for want of documentation at the point of registration.
Applications, document upload and fee payment all go through the Integrated University Management System at iums.kuk.ac.in, starting with a new registration to create a candidate login. Sources describe an application fee of Rs 1,200 for general candidates and Rs 300 for SC, BC and differently abled candidates of Haryana, with a further Rs 300, or Rs 75 for reserved categories, per additional course applied for. That per-course charge rewards thinking clearly about how many programmes to enter. Upload the qualifying degree marksheet and the relevant entrance scorecard at registration; incomplete uploads are the commonest cause of an application lapsing without the candidate being told.
This page carries a warning it would not normally need. No Kurukshetra University notice could be read for this cycle when the site was checked: the homepage showed no news items and the IUMS portal returned no data for news, notifications, merit lists or entrance results. Every date and fee stated here therefore rests on CollegeDekho, Collegedunia or Aglasem, and those sources already conflict, with Aglasem giving a Rs 700 and Rs 400 fee pair against the others' Rs 1,200 and Rs 300. Before you pay anything or act on any deadline, open the prospectus and notifications section of kuk.ac.in and confirm the figure there.
For most postgraduate programmes, no. Collegedunia and CollegeDekho both give 7 July 2026 as the closing date for the main PG application window, with M.Tech closing on 5 July and B.Ed on 9 August 2026. Whether any vacant-seat or spot round remains open in late September could not be established: the university homepage and the IUMS admission portal returned no current notices when checked on 22 September 2026. Check the admission notices and prospectus sections of kuk.ac.in directly.
Both. Collegedunia reports that M.A, M.Sc and M.Com admission runs on either a CUET PG score or the university's own KUK PG entrance test, with merit lists generated from the scores. Other programmes use different instruments entirely: MBA is admitted on CAT or CMAT followed by group discussion and personal interview, M.Tech on GATE score, and B.Ed on qualifying-degree merit. Because the route differs by programme, check the specific requirement for yours in the prospectus before choosing which test to prepare for.
Reported dates place the postgraduate entrance examinations between 22 June and 8 July 2026, with the exact date varying by programme. Undergraduate entrance tests were held earlier, on 22 and 23 June 2026. These dates come from Collegedunia and CollegeDekho rather than from a university notice. Because the window spans more than a fortnight and each department sits on its own day, the admit card issued through the IUMS portal is the authoritative statement of when and where a candidate is to appear.
Collegedunia and CollegeDekho both give Rs 1,200 for general candidates and Rs 300 for SC, BC and differently abled candidates of Haryana, with an additional Rs 300 per extra course applied for, or Rs 75 for reserved categories. Aglasem, however, lists Rs 700 and Rs 400 for the same cycle. None of these figures was read on a university notice and they conflict with one another, so confirm the amount for your category in the current prospectus before making any payment.
Applications are processed through the Integrated University Management System at iums.kuk.ac.in. The described process is to open the portal, select new registration to create a candidate login, complete personal, academic and category details, upload the qualifying degree marksheet and any valid entrance scorecard, and pay the fee online before the deadline. The same portal covers the University Teaching Departments, the University Institute of Engineering and Technology and the Institute of Integrated and Honors Studies.
Collegedunia reports that candidates holding UGC NET, CSIR NET, GATE or JRF may qualify for exemptions depending on the programme. The scope of the exemption is programme-specific and was not confirmed against a university document for this page. If you hold one of these qualifications, check the exemption clause in the prospectus for your intended programme, and upload the certificate at the application stage rather than presenting it for the first time at counselling, where a late claim is often not entertained.
