Calicut University MPEd 2026 registration extended: apply by 22 September

The University of Calicut has extended the online registration deadline for its Master of Physical Education (MPEd) admissions for the 2026 session. Prospective candidates for MPEd (CUCET 2026) can now complete their online registration until September 22, 2026, as announced by the Directorate of Admission.

This extension provides additional time for applicants to complete the necessary procedures for admission to the MPEd program, which is part of the university’s broader centralised admission process. The previous extension for MPEd online registration was announced on September 16, 2026.

Overview of Calicut University Admissions Process

The University of Calicut’s admissions are managed by its Directorate of Admissions (DoA), which was established in 2014. The DoA’s primary objective is to smooth out the entire admissions process for both the University Teaching Departments and its affiliated colleges. This includes conducting centralised admissions for many Undergraduate (UG), Postgraduate (PG), and M.Phil programs.

The university offers over 200 courses across various levels. Admission to most UG courses, excluding B.Tech, is merit-based. For PG courses, admission is determined by a combination of merit and entrance examinations. The Calicut University Centralized Entrance Test (CU-CET) 2026 is relevant for MPEd admissions, while the Calicut University Common Admission Test (CUCAT) is used for admission to MA, M.Sc, MCA, MSW, LLM, M.P.Ed, and B.P.Ed programs.

Application Fees and New Programs

The application fee for PG programs for the general category is INR 420, while SC/ST candidates are required to pay INR 175. For PG Distance Education programs, the application fee is ₹575, and for the MBA Distance Education program, it is ₹750. The university also accepts scores from KEAM/JEE Main for B.Tech programs and CMAT/CAT/KMAT for MBA programs.

Along with existing offerings, Calicut University has introduced new PG and Integrated PG programs. These include MA Epigraphy & Manuscriptology with 20 seats, Integrated MA Sanskrit Language and Literature with 20 seats, and Integrated MA Arabic Language and Literature with 30 seats. Admission to these Integrated MA programs is conducted through the Calicut University Common Admission Test (CUCAT).

Assistance and Support

Candidates requiring assistance with the admission process can contact the Directorate of Admissions support desk. The phone numbers for the DoA help desk are 0494 – 240 7016 and 0494 – 240 7017. For issues related to online payments, candidates can call 0494 – 240 7179. Also, support is available via email at doaentrance@uoc.ac.in. The official portal for admissions is admission.uoc.ac.in.

The university’s Centralised Admission Process (CAP) encompasses UGCAP for undergraduate, PGCAP for postgraduate, and IPCAP for integrated programs. The last date for Afsal Ul Ulama 2026-27 admission was previously extended to September 11, 2026.
