University of Mumbai extended the online registration and application deadline for 2026-27 postgraduate and advanced undergraduate programmes till 11:59 pm on May 30, according to a revised circular. The university said the extension will help students transition into its NEP 2020-aligned structure, including fourth-year Honours and Honours with Research options.

Mumbai: The University of Mumbai (MU) has extended the deadline for online registration and application submissions for its postgraduate and advanced undergraduate programs for the academic year 2026-27.

Reason for extension & NEP alignment

According to a revised circular released by the university, candidates now have until Saturday, May 30 up to 11:59 p.m to submit their applications online. The deadline, which was originally set to expire sooner, has been stretched to allow more students to transition smoothly into the university's newly restructured academic ecosystem.

In alignment with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, Mumbai University is introducing radical changes to its curriculum structure starting this academic year. For the first time, students can opt for a fourth year of undergraduate studies, choosing between a standard 'Honours' degree or an 'Honours with Research' track.
