No. The University of Allahabad admits PG students through its own PGAT, not CUET PG. Its official notice of 25 May 2026 said CUET (PG) 2026 scores would not be applicable for admission to its PG and professional courses (official notice).
CUET is used only for undergraduate admission at AU, through CUET-UG. The university has not yet announced the admission route for 2027-28, so check its PG admission page when the 2027 notice comes out. If the route changes, that notice will say so.
