Nalanda Open University has pushed back the last date for enrolling in its 2026-27 academic session to 8 October 2026, also announcing the MCA entrance test schedule.
The Nalanda Open University (NOU) announced that the deadline for student registrations for the 2026-27 academic session has been extended from 21 September to 8 October 2026. The decision aims to give prospective learners additional time to complete the application process for a range of undergraduate and postgraduate programmes offered by the distance‑learning institution.
Alongside the extended deadline, the university confirmed the date for the Master of Computer Applications (MCA) entrance test, ensuring that candidates can plan their preparation accordingly. NOU officials said the revised schedule will help maintain smooth admissions while accommodating the large number of applicants each year.
The university, based in Bihar, has been a popular choice for students seeking flexible higher‑education options. The extended deadline is expected to boost enrolment numbers for the upcoming session, especially in professional courses such as MCA, which continue to attract high demand.
Prospective students are advised to submit their applications through the official NOU portal before the new cut‑off date and to monitor the university’s website for detailed information on the MCA test venue and timings.
