NCET 2025: In a recent public notice issued by the National Testing Agency (NTA), the last date for submission of online applications for the National Common Entrance Test (NCET) 2025 has been extended. This decision comes in response to multiple requests from students, institutions, and other stakeholders due to the ongoing CBSE and other Board examinations. The extension will offer candidates more time to complete their applications for the 4-Year Integrated Teacher Education Programme (ITEP) in the academic session 2025-26.
The NCET is set to be conducted on April 29, 2025, in a computer-based test mode. The entrance exam will be held for admission to various central and state universities, including IITs, NITs, RIEs, and government colleges. With the new extension, candidates now have an additional 15 days to complete their applications and ensure they meet all requirements for the exam.

The NTA has revised the deadlines for online applications and payment of fees for NCET 2025. The last date for submission of online applications has been extended to March 31, 2025, up to 9:00 P.M. Additionally, the deadline for the successful transaction of application fees through credit/debit cards, net banking, or UPI has also been extended to March 31, 2025, up to 11:50 P.M.
