BHU UG CAP 2026 — Important Dates

What is BHU CAP-UG (Common Admission Process)?

• BHU admits students to its undergraduate programmes purely on the basis of their CUET UG 2026 score — there is no separate BHU entrance test any longer
• Seats are allotted through a Common Admission Process (CAP), conducted across multiple rounds until all eligible seats are filled or the university closes the process
• Cutoffs are published separately for two admission quotas: C1 (BHU Quota) and C2 (Non-BHU / Open Quota)
• After each round, allotted candidates get three options: Freeze (accept seat permanently and pay fee), Float (accept current seat but stay in consideration for a better seat in later rounds), or Slide (retain admission within BHU but seek a better course/college within BHU itself)
• Candidates who neither pay the fee nor exercise an option within the deadline forfeit the allotted seat

BHU UG Round 2 Cutoff 2026 — Trend & Movement

• As expected, Round 2 cutoffs have dropped compared to Round 1 across most programmes, as students who received better options elsewhere (e.g., DU, JNU) vacated their BHU seats, and float/slide candidates moved to higher-preference courses
• BCom (Hons): General category range widened to approximately 95 – 573 marks across colleges (from a Round 1 high of ~563), reflecting fresh vacancies at lower-ranked constituent colleges
• BA (Hons) Economics with Minor Political Science: Expected range roughly 183 – 380 marks
• BA (Hons) History with Minor Political Science: Expected range roughly 137 – 371 marks
• BSc (Hons) Mathematics with Physics: Expected range roughly 275 – 540 marks

Important: These are live-tracked/expected ranges reported on the release day; candidates must verify their exact, official Round 2 cutoff for their specific course-college-category combination directly on admission.bhu.ac.in, as figures can vary by college and keep updating as more data is confirmed.

Factors That Influence BHU CUET Cutoff

• Total number of applicants for that specific course-college combination
• Number of seats available/vacant after each round (float/slide/freeze outcomes)
• Category of the candidate (UR/General, OBC-NCL, SC, ST, EWS, PwBD)
• Overall difficulty level of the CUET UG 2026 exam and normalization of scores across shifts
• Popularity and reputation of the constituent/affiliated college
• Whether the seat falls under C1 (BHU Quota) or C2 (Non-BHU Quota)

Steps to Confirm Admission After Round 2 Allotment

• Log in to bhucuet.samarth.edu.in using CUET Application Number and Password
• Check your Round 2 Seat Allotment Letter under the candidate dashboard
• Verify the allotted Course, College/Department, and Category
• Choose one of the available options: Freeze / Float / Slide
• If freezing or accepting the seat, proceed to pay the admission/seat-confirmation fee online via the Samarth payment gateway
• Complete payment before 8 August 2026, 23:59 hrs — late payment will lead to automatic cancellation of the allotted seat
• Download and save the fee payment receipt and allotment letter for physical reporting/verification at the college later
• Candidates who wish to be considered for Round 3 must select Float or Slide instead of Freeze

Documents Required at the Time of Physical Reporting/Verification

• CUET UG 2026 Scorecard
• BHU Seat Allotment Letter (Round 1/Round 2, as applicable)
• Class 10 Marksheet & Certificate (Date of Birth proof)
• Class 12 Marksheet & Certificate (Passing certificate)
• Category Certificate (SC/ST/OBC-NCL/EWS/PwBD), if applicable, in the prescribed Government of India / State format
• Valid Photo ID Proof (Aadhaar/Passport/Voter ID)
• Passport-size photographs (as specified by the college)
• Migration Certificate (if applicable, from the previous board/university)
• Transfer Certificate / School Leaving Certificate
• Admission/seat-confirmation fee payment receipt

Note: Exact document lists may vary slightly by constituent college — candidates should also check the specific reporting instructions issued along with their allotment letter.

BHU UG Admission 2026 — Preparation & Strategy Tips for Round 3/4 Aspirants

• If not satisfied with your Round 2 allotment, evaluate carefully before choosing Freeze — once frozen, you exit the upgrade process entirely for that cycle
• Candidates aiming for a better college within BHU should use the Slide option rather than withdrawing, since it keeps the current seat safe while allowing an upgrade
• Track the official cutoff trend across rounds (Round 1 vs Round 2) for your specific course to estimate your realistic chances in Round 3/4 — cutoffs typically ease further in later rounds as seats vacate
• Keep all scanned documents and payment methods ready in advance, since round-to-round windows for fee payment are usually short (2–3 days only)
• Regularly check both admission.bhu.ac.in (for cutoff) and bhucuet.samarth.edu.in (for individual allotment/login) — cutoff and allotment are hosted separately
• If your category-course combination shows no seats in Round 2, don’t lose hope — BHU historically has released Round 3, Round 4, and even Spot Rounds in past cycles (2025 saw admissions run until mid-September)
