About BHU UG Admission 2026
BHU is a central university and one of India's largest residential universities, offering undergraduate courses across multiple faculties in Varanasi. For 2026-27, admission to every UG programme - arts, science, commerce, and professional courses - is routed through CUET (UG) 2026 scores via the CAP-UG portal. Programmes such as Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) and Bachelor of Visual Arts (BVA) additionally require a practical component, and BHU conducts a separate seat allocation process for these two courses.
Eligibility for BHU UG Admission 2026
To register for BHU UG Admission 2026, a candidate must meet the following:
- Must have appeared in CUET (UG) 2026, conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA), and scored a positive score in the relevant papers.
- Must fulfil the programme-specific eligibility criteria prescribed by BHU for the particular course applied for (varies by programme).
- Name, date of birth, gender, and category declared during BHU registration must exactly match the details submitted in the CUET (UG) 2026 application - any mismatch can lead to cancellation of candidature.
Note on age limit and programme-wise subject eligibility: These are course-specific and detailed in the official BHU CUET UG Information Bulletin 2026, available on the admission portal. This general article does not list every programme's specific cut-off subject combination - candidates must check the bulletin for their intended course before applying.
