The Era Foundation has announced the important dates for the Uni-GAUGE 2026 exam and its registration. This announcement is key for students across India who are planning to join engineering courses (B.E/B.Tech) in various universities that are part of the Uni-GAUGE system. All official updates and application details will be available on the website, unigauge.com.
The Uni-GAUGE 2026 examination is scheduled to be held on May 9, 2026. For the convenience of students, the Era Foundation will conduct the Uni-GAUGE E 2026 along with the COMEDK UGET exam as a single combined test. This means students aiming for engineering admissions through both these channels can complete their examination process in one go.
The online registration process for Uni-GAUGE 2026 will begin on February 3, 2026. Students interested in applying must visit the official website, unigauge.com, to fill out their application forms. If a student wishes to apply for both COMEDK and Uni-GAUGE, they can do so through the same application process by paying the necessary fees. It is important for all candidates to complete their registration before the deadline, which will also be announced on the official website.
Exam Structure and Format
The Uni-GAUGE 2026 exam is designed as a computer-based test (CBT). This digital format allows for efficient testing across a wide network. The exam will be conducted in over 200 cities located across India, making it accessible to students from different regions.
The question paper will contain a total of 180 questions. These questions will be equally distributed among three core subjects that are fundamental to engineering studies: Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics. Each subject section will have 60 questions. Candidates will be given a total of 3 hours to complete the entire paper.
The marking scheme for Uni-GAUGE 2026 is straightforward. Students will receive 1 mark for every correct answer. A significant detail for candidates is that there will be no negative marking in this examination.

Eligibility Requirements for Uni-GAUGE 2026
Students must meet specific academic qualifications to be eligible for the Uni-GAUGE 2026 exam. The primary requirements are:
- Candidates must have successfully passed their Second Pre-University Course (PUC), 10+2 (Higher Secondary), or an equivalent examination. This ensures that applicants have completed their foundational education before aiming for engineering studies.
- Students who hold a Diploma and are seeking admission into Engineering streams are also eligible to apply for this examination.
- Those candidates who are currently appearing for their 10+2 or equivalent final examinations in the present academic year (leading up to 2026) are also permitted to apply. Their admission will likely be conditional upon passing their final exams.
- The educational board from which the candidate has passed their qualifying examination must be officially recognized by either a State Government or the Central Government of India.

- They were previously caught trying to impersonate another person during any examination.
- They were found involved in any form of unfair means or malpractice in earlier exams.
- They were caught engaging with touts or agents who promise unfair advantages in examinations.
