NTA SWAYAM-2026 July Semester Admission Notification
The National Testing Agency (NTA) has released the admission-form notification for SWAYAM-2026 July Semester. The online application process began on 09 October 2026, with submission closing on 31 October 2026.
This cycle brings together course-level eligibility, category-based examination fees and a separate registration stage for the proctored examination. Applicants need to distinguish application submission from fee payment and corrections, because each activity has its own deadline.
NTA SWAYAM July Semester 2026: Application Rules and Examination Pathway

The notification covers undergraduate, postgraduate and certificate courses, with academic requirements determined by the course level. It sets out a progression from course enrollment and completion to examination registration, the examination itself and result declaration.
Applicants should therefore assess both their academic eligibility and the administrative requirements for examination participation. The sections below separate these requirements so that course qualification, payment and registration deadlines remain clear.
Application Timeline: Submission, Payment and Corrections
The schedule places application submission first, followed by a separate fee-payment deadline and then a two-day correction window. The later payment date does not extend the application-submission deadline.
Candidates should complete submission within its designated period and treat corrections as a subsequent review stage, rather than an alternative registration opportunity. The dates identify a correction window but do not specify which application fields can be changed.
| Activity | Date |
|---|---|
| Online application opens | 09 October 2026 |
| Online application closes | 31 October 2026 |
| Last date to pay examination fees | 01 November 2026 |
| Application correction window | 02–03 November 2026 |
| Examination dates | 08, 09, 10, 11 and 12 December 2026 |
Academic Eligibility by Course Level
Eligibility depends on whether the applicant is pursuing an undergraduate, postgraduate or certificate course. Undergraduate and certificate courses share the same stated school-level qualification, while postgraduate courses require a completed degree.
The recognition requirement applies to the institution awarding the qualification: a recognized board for 10+2 and a recognized university for a bachelor’s degree. Applicants should match their completed qualification to the relevant course category before proceeding.
| Course category | Required qualification |
|---|---|
| Undergraduate (UG) courses | Passed 10+2 from any recognized board in India. |
| Postgraduate (PG) courses | Completed a bachelor’s degree from any recognized university in India. |
| Certificate courses | Passed 10+2 from any recognized board in India. |
Examination Fees and Additional-Course Charges
The fee structure distinguishes the examination fee from the charge for an additional course. General applicants have a higher charge in both columns, while the other listed categories share the same rates.
This distinction matters when planning registration for more than one course: the additional-course amount is separate from the initial examination fee. Applicants should read both charges against their applicable category rather than treating the additional-course figure as the initial fee.
| Applicant category | Examination fee | Additional-course charge |
|---|---|---|
| General | ₹750 | ₹600 |
| OBC, NCL, EWS | ₹500 | ₹400 |
| SC/ST/PH | ₹500 | ₹400 |
From Course Completion to Result Declaration
The stated process separates course enrollment and completion from registration for the proctored examination. This makes examination registration a distinct administrative stage rather than an interchangeable term for course enrollment.
The examination follows registration, and result declaration forms the final listed stage. A result-declaration date has not been specified.
- Course enrollment and completion.
- Registration for the proctored examination.
- Examination process.
- Result declaration.
Where to Complete the Online Application
Candidates can complete the application process online through NTA’s SWAYAM website or the designated application portal. The information bulletin provides a separate reference alongside the application route.
Keeping these functions distinct helps applicants use the correct resource: the portal for submission and the bulletin for reviewing the notification’s requirements. The application route is online.
Use the SWAYAM application portal to apply, consult the information bulletin, or visit the NTA SWAYAM website.
