The official registration period for the 2026 National Postgraduate Entrance Examination is October 15 through 24, from 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. daily. Starting with the 2027 National Postgraduate Entrance Examination, registration and online confirmation will be combined; candidates can submit materials directly when completing their application. Candidates whose materials fail review will receive a notice to submit additional materials.

Candidates should note the following key registration points: Those who have completed pre-registration and paid the fee do not need to re-register; core application information cannot be modified after submission—any changes require resubmission of the entire application. Registration is not valid until payment is completed. Current undergraduates should have their student ID cards ready; graduates should prepare their academic degree certificates; and candidates applying from outside their home region should prepare relevant supporting documents as required by their examination site.
