About CEPT Examinations 2026
Unlike traditional universities, CEPT focuses on continuous assessment through 'Juries' and 'Exhibitions' alongside standard written exams. The Spring Semester 2026 is scheduled to conclude in May, followed by the end-semester exhibitions. The Monsoon Semester 2026 typically commences in July, with final evaluations occurring in December. Professional courses such as M.Tech (CEM) and M.Planning often include on-campus and online testing components for the 2026 cycle.
