What is UPESMET 2026?
UPESMET 2026 is the university-level management entrance test conducted by the University of Petroleum and Energy Studies (UPES), Dehradun. It is for admission to the two-year MBA and integrated management programmes at the university.
Specialisations include Energy Management, Oil & Gas Management, Aviation Management, Logistics & Supply Chain, Business Analytics, and International Business.
The test is conducted online and is proctored. Candidates can take the test from any location with a stable internet connection, a webcam, and a microphone. UPES does not allocate physical exam centres for UPESMET.
UPESMET 2026 Eligibility Criteria
UPES is a UGC-recognised private university and is NAAC A-grade accredited. UPESMET is one of three entry routes for MBA admission at UPES.
The other two routes are:
- A valid CAT, XAT, MAT, CMAT, NMAT, or GMAT score in place of UPESMET.
- Qualification through the personal interview round for select profiles.
Submitting only the UPESMET application keeps the candidature exam-based. Pairing it with a national-test scorecard broadens shortlisting consideration.
How to Fill UPESMET Application Form 2026
The application form is available at admission.upes.ac.in. The slot booking window has been live since June 9, 2026.
One application must be submitted per programme. Multiple submissions from the same student are summarily rejected, and the fee is not refunded.
UPESMET Application Fee 2026
The application fee is ₹1,350 for all categories.
UPESMET Registration Trends — Last 5 Years
UPESMET registrations have grown steadily over the last five years. Attendance has held above 80% across all five cycles.
| Year | Conducting Body | Registered (Approx) | Appeared (Approx) | Attendance % |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | UPES Dehradun | 22,000 | 19,000 | 86% |
| 2024 | UPES Dehradun | 20,500 | 17,500 | 85% |
| 2023 | UPES Dehradun | 18,000 | 15,400 | 85% |
| 2022 | UPES Dehradun | 15,500 | 13,000 | 83% |
| 2021 | UPES Dehradun | 12,000 | 9,800 | 81% |
Registrations grew from roughly 12,000 in 2021 to over 22,000 in 2025. This is on the back of UPES expanding its MBA specialisations and shifting the test to a fully online proctored format.
Attendance has held above 80% because the online mode removes travel and centre-allocation friction. For 2026, expect registrations in the 23,000–25,000 band, with attendance close to 85%.
UPES does not publish exact registration counts publicly. The figures above are indicative estimates compiled from year-on-year admission reports.

Admit Card
The UPESMET 2026 Admit Card — in the form of exam login credentials (passkey) — was dispatched by UPES to all registered students on 17 June 2026, one day before the scheduled exam date of 18 June 2026. UPES (University of Petroleum and Energy Studies, Dehradun) sends your exam link and passkey directly to your registered email address and mobile number, rather than issuing a traditional downloadable hall ticket. You can check the official admissions portal at upes.ac.in/admissions/admission-alerts for updates on upcoming sessions.
Note: UPESMET does not issue a traditional downloadable admit card or hall ticket. Your exam access credentials are sent to your registered email and phone number — check both carefully one day before your scheduled exam date.
- UPES dispatched the UPESMET 2026 exam login credentials (passkey) on 17 June 2026 via email and SMS to all registered students.
- The exam was conducted on 18 June 2026 between 10 AM and 2 PM in an online remote-proctored format.
- Your credentials include your exam link, login ID, and passkey — check your registered email inbox and phone for these details.
- UPESMET 2026 tests four sections: General English, Quantitative Aptitude, General Awareness, and Analytical and Logical Reasoning — 140 questions in 2 hours.
- No negative marking applies — each correct answer awards +1 mark, and unattempted questions carry zero marks.
- For missing credentials or any discrepancy, contact UPES at 1800-102-8737 or enrollments@upes.ac.in immediately.
- UPESMET scores are used for admission to MBA and MBA (Energy Trading) programmes at UPES, Dehradun.
What is UPESMET Admit Card 2026?
The UPESMET 2026 Admit Card is your official authorisation to appear in the UPES Management Entrance Test conducted by the University of Petroleum and Energy Studies, Dehradun. Unlike most national-level management exams, UPES does not issue a traditional downloadable PDF hall ticket for UPESMET. Instead, UPES emails your exam login credentials — comprising the exam link, login ID, and passkey — to your registered email address and mobile number, one day before your scheduled exam date.
These credentials are the functional equivalent of your admit card and are mandatory to access and complete the exam. You cannot enter the UPESMET online exam without the login link and passkey sent by UPES — no alternative access method is available. UPESMET is conducted in an online remote-proctored mode, so your exam device, webcam, and a valid photo ID replace the traditional exam centre setup.
Note: Receiving the credentials email from UPES does not confirm your final admission to MBA programmes at UPES — it only authorises you to appear in the UPESMET 2026 entrance exam.
UPESMET Admit Card 2026 Release Date
UPES releases UPESMET 2026 exam credentials one day before each scheduled exam session. For the June 2026 session, credentials were dispatched on 17 June 2026 for the exam held on 18 June 2026. The result for this session is yet to be declared.

Ans: The credentials email contains your name, application number, exam link or URL, login ID, passkey, exam date and time window, reporting time, your registered photograph, and important instructions for the remote-proctored exam.
Ques: Can I appear in UPESMET 2026 without the credentials email?
Ans: No. The exam link and passkey in the credentials email are the only way to access the UPESMET 2026 online exam. There is no alternative entry method. Contact UPES immediately if you have not received them before your exam date.
Ques: What photo ID should I keep ready for UPESMET 2026?
Ans: Keep a valid government-issued photo ID ready — Aadhaar Card, PAN Card, Voter ID, Passport, or Driving Licence. The remote proctor will ask you to show your original ID via webcam before the exam begins, so have the physical document on your desk.
Ques: What if there is an error in my name or exam date in the credentials email?
Ans: Report it to UPES immediately. Call 1800-102-8737 or email enrollments@upes.ac.in with your application number, the specific error, and a screenshot of the incorrect email. Do not attempt to appear in the exam with incorrect credentials — get the issue resolved first.
Ques: What are the technical requirements to appear in UPESMET 2026?

Ques: How many questions are there in UPESMET 2026?

Ques: Is there negative marking in UPESMET 2026?
Ans: No. UPESMET 2026 has no negative marking. Each correct answer awards +1 mark. Wrong answers and unattempted questions both carry zero marks.
Ques: Can I change my exam slot after receiving the credentials?
Ans: No. UPES assigns your exam date and time slot based on the slot booking schedule. You cannot change your exam slot once the credentials email has been issued. Contact the UPES helpdesk at 1800-102-8737 if you face an emergency — slot changes are subject to UPES discretion only.

Why Does UPESMET Follow a Multi-Phase Rolling Schedule?
Unlike most national management entrance tests that hold a single high-stakes exam on one day, UPESMET operates on a rolling, multi-phase model spread across January to July each year. UPES conducts six to seven exam windows per cycle so that students who miss the first window — due to preparation timelines, competing exam commitments (CAT, XAT), or personal reasons — can still secure a seat in the MBA programme. The fully online proctored format (no physical test centre required) makes this rolling model logistically feasible. UPES considers the highest score across all phases attempted when shortlisting students for GD/PI, removing any penalty for multiple attempts.
UPESMET Previous Year Exam Dates (2025–2021)
UPESMET has consistently followed a January-to-July or March-to-July multi-phase calendar. The table below shows the Phase 1 (earliest) exam date each year alongside the final phase timeline, descending from most recent to oldest:
| Year | Phase 1 / Earliest Exam Date | Final Phase (Approx.) | Total Phases |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | January 23–25, 2025 | July–August 2025 | 7 Phases |
| 2024 | January 27–28, 2024 | July 2024 | Multiple Phases |
| 2023 | February 2023 | July 2023 | Multiple Phases |
| 2022 | January 28–30, 2022 | July 2022 | Multiple Phases |
| 2021 | March 2021 (COVID-19 delay) | July 2021 | Multiple Phases |
Five years of data confirm three patterns: (1) UPESMET Phase 1 has always begun by March at the latest — January is the norm, with 2021 and 2026 being exceptions due to COVID disruption and a scheduling shift respectively. (2) The final exam phase consistently wraps up by July–August regardless of when Phase 1 started, confirming a 6–8 month total cycle. (3) UPESMET 2025 ran seven distinct phases — the most in recent years — suggesting 2026 may similarly extend through July, giving students registered by June 30 a realistic opportunity to appear before the cycle closes.

UPESMET 2026 Registration Date: November 2025 (Ongoing Until June 30)
UPES opened registrations for UPESMET 2026 in November 2025, timed to coincide with the CAT 2025 and XAT 2026 exam seasons. This early opening allows students appearing in national management entrance tests to simultaneously register for UPESMET. UPESMET registrations are not a single window — students can register for any subsequent phase right up to that phase’s application deadline. As of June 20, 2026, registrations remain open until June 30, 2026 for the upcoming exam window.
- Registration Open Since: November 2025

Each UPESMET phase carries its own cut-off — Phase 1 closed February 28; Round 1 closed May 30; Round 2 closed June 15.

UPESMET 2026 Application Correction Window
UPES does not operate a formal post-submission correction window for UPESMET in the manner of NTA-conducted exams. Students are advised to review all application details carefully before final submission. If a critical error is discovered after submission — such as incorrect personal details or an unclear photograph — students should contact the UPES admissions helpdesk directly through the official portal before their exam date.
- Formal Correction Window: Not announced; contact UPES admissions helpdesk for corrections
- Helpdesk Access: Via upes.ac.in
- Action Required: Review all application details before submission; raise correction requests to UPES admissions promptly if an error is discovered.
UPESMET 2026 Exam Credentials (Login Passkey) — No Admit Card Issued
UPESMET does not issue a traditional admit card or hall ticket. Since the exam is conducted entirely online from any internet-connected device, UPES instead sends a login passkey (exam credential) to the student’s registered email address and mobile number one day before the booked exam date. This passkey is used to access the proctored online exam portal at the scheduled time. Students must ensure their contact details on the UPES portal are accurate and current well before the exam date.
- Delivery: Login passkey sent via email and SMS, one day before the exam
- Exam Access Window: 10 AM to 2 PM on the booked exam date
- Device: Any internet-connected device (laptop or desktop recommended for stable proctoring)
- Action Required: Check registered email and mobile for the passkey on the day before the exam; verify a stable internet connection in advance.
Note: Log in to the UPESMET online exam portal at least 15 minutes before your intended start time within the 10 AM–2 PM window. Students who do not log in within the window on their booked date forfeit that exam attempt — no rescheduling is permitted after the window closes.
UPESMET 2026 Exam Date: Multiple Windows (March–July 2026)
UPESMET 2026 is held across multiple online exam windows from March through July 2026. Three windows are already complete.

Ques. How many times can a student appear in UPESMET 2026?
Ans. UPES allows students to appear in multiple UPESMET 2026 phases. Students who appeared in an earlier phase and wish to improve their score can register again for a later phase before its respective deadline. UPES considers the highest score across all phases for GD/PI shortlisting, so multiple attempts carry no penalty.
- No restriction on the number of phases a student can attempt in a single cycle
- Registration for each phase requires a fresh application on the UPES portal before that phase’s deadline
- The best score across all attempts is used for GD/PI shortlisting
UPESMET 2026 Answer Key
UPES does not release an official answer key for UPESMET. Unlike NTA-conducted exams such as CAT or CMAT — where a provisional answer key is published and objections are invited — UPESMET results are declared directly on the UPES admissions portal without a separate answer key, response sheet, or objection window. Students can view their scores and sectional performance breakdown on the portal within 7–10 days of their respective exam window closing.
- Answer Key: Not released by UPES for UPESMET

UPESMET 2026 Result Date: Expected July 2026 (Next Window)
UPES declares UPESMET results within 7–10 days of each exam window closing. This phase-wise model means students from earlier phases (March, May–June) already have their scores and are at different stages of the GD/PI process. For the June 18, 2026 exam window, results are expected by approximately June 25–28, 2026. Results for the upcoming late-June/early-July window will follow in July 2026. Scores appear directly on the UPES admissions portal — no separate result PDF is published.

UPESMET 2026 GD/PI and Counselling Schedule: July–August 2026 (Expected)
UPES does not conduct centralised counselling for MBA admissions through any external body. After UPESMET results are declared, shortlisted students are called for a Group Discussion (GD) and Personal Interview (PI) at the UPES Dehradun campus or in online mode. The GD/PI schedule is announced on the UPES Admission Alerts page, and shortlisted students receive call letters via email. Final merit list, seat allotment, and fee payment are all handled directly by UPES — there is no separate counselling authority or seat allocation portal.

Instead, shortlisted students are called for Group Discussion (GD) and Personal Interview (PI) conducted directly by UPES at Dehradun or online. GD/PI for students from upcoming exam windows is expected in July–August 2026 after result declaration. Seat allotment and fee payment complete the process in-house.

Year-wise UPESMET Exam Dates and Trends
UPESMET has followed a consistent multi-phase, January-to-July calendar across all recent years. The following table captures year-wise Phase 1 exam dates alongside the final phase timeline and total phase count — the most reliable predictor of upcoming 2026 phase scheduling:
| Year | Phase 1 / Earliest Exam Date | Final Phase (Approx.) | Total Phases |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | January 23–25, 2025 | July–August 2025 | 7 Phases |
| 2024 | January 27–28, 2024 | July 2024 | Multiple Phases |
| 2023 | February 2023 | July 2023 | Multiple Phases |
| 2022 | January 28–30, 2022 | July 2022 | Multiple Phases |
| 2021 | March 2021 (COVID-19 delay) | July 2021 | Multiple Phases |
Five years of data confirm three patterns: (1) UPESMET Phase 1 has always begun by March at the latest — January is the norm, with 2021 and 2026 being exceptions due to COVID disruption and a scheduling shift respectively. (2) The final exam phase consistently wraps up by July–August regardless of when Phase 1 started, confirming a 6–8 month total cycle. (3) UPESMET 2025 ran seven distinct phases — the most in recent years — suggesting 2026 may similarly extend through July, giving students registered by June 30 a realistic opportunity to appear before the cycle closes.

Ques. Are the UPESMET 2026 dates confirmed or tentative?
Ans. Past UPESMET 2026 phase dates — Phase 1 (March 1–2), Round 1 (May 31–June 2), and the June 18 window — are confirmed as they have already taken place. The June 30 application deadline is also confirmed on the official UPES portal. The upcoming exam window date and slot-booking opening are yet to be announced as of June 20, 2026; all future dates are expected timelines based on historical patterns, not confirmed dates.
- Confirmed past dates: March 1–2, May 31–June 2, June 18, 2026
- Confirmed upcoming date: June 30, 2026 application deadline
- Expected (TBA): Next exam window date, slot booking open date
Will UPESMET 2026 Be Conducted in More Phases After June?
Yes, based on all available evidence, UPESMET 2026 is expected to have at least one more exam window after June 2026. The case for why:
- Official June 30 deadline: The UPES admissions portal confirms June 30 as the current application deadline. UPES would not keep registrations open without a corresponding exam window planned — the June 30 deadline is effectively a signal that another window is imminent.
- Slot booking listed as TBA: The official UPES portal shows the next slot booking date as "TBA" — consistent with a window being planned but not yet finalised for announcement.
- The 2025 benchmark: UPESMET 2025 ran seven phases, with Phase 5 on June 25–26, Phase 6 in July, and Phase 7 registration closing July 30, 2025. The 2026 cycle has tracked closely with 2025’s calendar so far.
- Pipeline context: Following the June 15 Round 2 application deadline closure, UPES is expected to announce the next exam window schedule shortly — additional confirmation that one or more phases remain in the 2026 cycle.
Students who registered before June 30, 2026 should expect a slot booking announcement in late June or early July 2026 on the UPES admissions portal. Those who have not yet registered should do so immediately to remain eligible for the upcoming window.
Ques. Has the UPESMET 2026 exam been postponed or cancelled?
Ans. No, UPESMET 2026 has not been postponed or cancelled. Three exam windows have already been conducted successfully — March 1–2, May 31–June 2, and June 18, 2026. At least one more window is expected in late June or early July 2026. Applications remain open until June 30, 2026 on the official UPES admissions portal.
- Phase 1 (March 1–2, 2026): Completed as scheduled
- Round 1 (May 31–June 2, 2026): Completed as scheduled
- June 18, 2026 window: Completed as scheduled
- Next window: Expected — slot booking date TBA on upes.ac.in
Countdown to UPESMET 2026 Next Exam Window
The next UPESMET 2026 exam window is expected in late June or early July 2026.
