Step 3: Registration and Application on the CAP Portal
Once your CUET result is out, BHU opens its counselling window. Here’s what you need to do:
Step 1: Log in with your NTA Application Number on the relevant CAP-UG portal. The basic details are already pre-filled from NTA records.
Step 2: Pay the registration fee (non-refundable) online. The registration fees for candidates under UR / OBC-NCL / EWS category is Rs 500, for SC / ST / PwBD category is Rs 250. In case of paid seats, candidates need to pay an additional amount of Rs 700, irrespective of all categories.
Step 3: Fill in course and college preferences as BHU has multiple constituent colleges and faculties, so rank your choices carefully.
Step 4: Upload required documents, including caste certificates if applicable. Candidates without valid caste-supporting documents will not be allowed admission under the UG reserved-category.
Step 5: Submit and print your application form. It might be needed in the upcoming steps of the admission process.
Step 4: Merit List and Seat Allotment
BHU calculates merit using your normalized CUET score along with program-specific eligibility rules. Based on your preferences and seat availability, the system allots you a seat in one of several rounds:
C1 (BHU Quota) and C2 (Non-BHU Quota) categories are shown separately in cutoff data.
If you’re allotted a seat and wish to upgrade in a later round, you must exercise the payment/upgrade option, otherwise your existing allotment may get auto-cancelled.
Step 5: Accept the Offer and Pay the Commitment Fee
If you receive an allotment in the first round, you generally need to:
Step 1: Accept the offer online within the given deadline
Step 2: Pay a commitment fee which is around Rs 2,500 for general category and Rs 500 for SC/ST candidates.
Step 3: Report for document verification and final admission on the scheduled date with original certificates
