Punjabi University Patiala Date Sheet 2026 has been released for B.A. Semester 3 and 4 re-examinations, as well as MBA Semester 5 preponement exams. The university issued three separate notifications on 24/07/2026 and 25/07/2026 to inform students of their respective exam schedules.

The datesheet notifications cover three distinct exam categories: a corrected one-paper re-exam for B.A. Semester 4 (May 2025 syllabus), a one-paper special exam for B.A. Semester 3 (December 2024 syllabus), and a preponement exam for MBA Financial Markets and Applied Semester 5 students. Each notification has been assigned a unique reference number for easy identification on the official portal.

- Review the exam dates, times, and any special instructions listed in the PDF before noting them down.

Before You Download
- Confirm which semester and category applies to you – a “re-exam” or “special exam” notification is not for all students of that semester, only for specific groups.
- A “preponement exam” means the exam has been moved to an earlier date than originally scheduled – do not assume your original exam schedule is still valid.
- Notification 284 is marked “Corrected,” meaning any earlier version has been replaced – use only the corrected version.
- Check the official notification PDF for exact exam times, exam centres, and any documents you must carry to the exam hall.
Important Instructions for Students
A “preponement exam” means the exam has been rescheduled to an earlier date than the original plan – students must check this carefully to avoid missing the exam. Always use the most recent corrected or revised version of a notification; Notification 284 is explicitly marked “Corrected,” making it the final version. Special exams and re-exams are designed for specific student categories (such as those with exam clashes, reappear cases, or pending single papers) and do not apply to all students of that semester. For exact exam times, locations, or other details not included in this article, download the official notification PDF from the university portal directly.

Ans. Download the official notification PDF from the university datesheet portal using the link in this article. The PDF contains your exam date, time, and exam center. Show this downloaded PDF to your parent so you both can mark the exam date on the calendar and plan accordingly.
Q5. What if my course or semester is not listed on the datesheet portal?
Ans. Not all semesters and courses are covered in every datesheet release. This particular release covers only B.A. Semester 3, B.A. Semester 4 re-exams, and MBA Semester 5 preponement exams. If your course is not listed, check the official Punjabi University website or contact the examination branch to confirm if your datesheet will be released separately.
Q6. What documents do I need to bring to the exam hall?
Ans. Most university exams require a valid roll number slip or admit card, and a college or university identity card. However, the official notification PDF may specify additional documents for your particular exam. Download and check your notification PDF for any special document requirements before exam day.
Q7. What should I do if I miss my exam date due to not checking the datesheet?
Ans. Download and check your notification PDF immediately to confirm your exam date, time, and center. Mark these dates on your calendar and set reminders. If you have a genuine emergency, contact the examination branch of Punjabi University directly before the exam date to request any possible accommodation. Do not assume you can appear at a later date without prior official approval.
