BHU CUET UG 2026: How to Apply for Banaras Hindu University Admission | CUET Gurukul

Banaras Hindu University (BHU) has released its BHU CUET UG Information Bulletin 2026 on the centralised admission portal admission.bhu.ac.in. The Bulletin confirms what most BHU aspirants already suspected: for the 2026-27 academic session, the vast majority of BHU undergraduate programmes — BA (Hons.), BSc (Hons.), BCom (Hons.), BFA, BPA, BPEd, Shastri (Hons.), and similar streams — will admit students solely on the basis of CUET (UG) 2026 NTA scores, followed by BHU’s own UG admission/choice-filling application. If BHU is on your shortlist, this is the canonical CUET-to-BHU roadmap for 2026-27.

One CUET. Two applications. One BHU seat.

The single most-overlooked fact among BHU aspirants is this: a strong CUET score is necessary but not sufficient. The full BHU UG admission flow runs in two clean steps:

1. Step 1 — CUET (UG) 2026: Register and appear at cuet.nta.nic.in. Pick the CUET subjects BHU recognises for your target programme (see the BHU CUET UG Information Bulletin 2026 for the exact mapping).
2. Step 2 — BHU UG application on admission.bhu.ac.in: After CUET results, register and apply on the BHU admission portal. Fill your programme/faculty preferences and upload required documents.

BHU then prepares programme-wise merit lists using normalised CUET (UG) NTA scores and notifies allotted seats through admission.bhu.ac.in.

What the BHU CUET UG Information Bulletin 2026 actually contains

The Bulletin — hosted at admission.bhu.ac.in — is the authoritative reference document. Inside, you will find:

• Programme list: All BHU UG programmes admitting through CUET (UG) 2026, faculty-wise and course-wise.
• CUET subject mapping: Which CUET (UG) paper codes BHU recognises for each programme. Picking the wrong CUET subject combo can render you ineligible — read the matrix carefully.
• Eligibility criteria: Class XII subject pre-requisites, minimum aggregate, language requirements, faculty-specific norms (especially for BFA, BPA, BPEd which involve additional aptitude/physical tests).
• Reservation policy: SC/ST/OBC-NCL/EWS/PwBD distributions plus BHU-specific quotas (single girl child, sports, NCC, etc.).
• Fee structure: Application fee, programme fee at admission, and refund/cancellation policy.
• Timeline indicators: Application window, document verification window, and counselling round structure.

Which CUET subjects should you pick for popular BHU programmes?

While the Information Bulletin is your single source of truth, here is the general direction (always cross-check with the Bulletin’s eligibility matrix before locking your CUET form):

• BCom (Hons.) at BHU: Typically requires CUET Mathematics/Applied Maths (Paper 306 or 307), Accountancy (319), Business Studies (321), and a language paper (101/102).
• BA (Hons.) Humanities at BHU: CUET English (101) or Hindi (102), General Test (501), and one or more Domain subjects relevant to the programme (History 327, Pol. Sci. 332, Economics 324, etc.).
• BSc (Hons.) at BHU: CUET Mathematics (306), Physics (311), Chemistry (312), Biology (314) as relevant to your stream — Physical Sciences vs. Biological Sciences vs. Maths-Computer-Science combinations all map differently.
• BFA / BPA / BPEd: CUET General Test (501) + a relevant Domain subject, plus a programme-specific aptitude/physical assessment conducted by BHU at the admission stage.

Step-by-step preparation playbook

1. Download the BHU CUET UG Information Bulletin 2026 today and highlight every line about your target faculty. The Bulletin is the only document that overrides hearsay.
2. Lock the right CUET subjects in your CUET (UG) 2026 form before the NTA correction window closes. A CUET subject mismatch is unfixable post-correction.
3. Target a CUET percentile above last year’s BHU first-list cut-off for your programme. Use BHU’s prior-year cut-off PDFs (where published) on admission.bhu.ac.in as directional reference.
4. Stay current-affairs sharp. CUET General Test (501) and BHU’s social-sciences merit lists reward consistent newspaper-reading. Read at least one English national daily through 2026.
5. Take three full-length mocks on our CUET mock tests page in the final two weeks before exam day. Calibrate pacing across paper codes.
6. Plan Step 2 in parallel. Keep your Class X, Class XII, photo, signature, category certificate, and any quota documents ready for the BHU UG application immediately after CUET results.

Frequently asked questions

Is CUET (UG) 2026 the only test BHU uses for UG admissions?

For most BHU UG programmes, yes — admission is based on CUET (UG) 2026 NTA scores. Performance/aptitude-based programmes like BFA, BPA, and BPEd may additionally hold a programme-specific aptitude or physical test post-CUET.

Where is the BHU CUET UG Information Bulletin 2026 hosted?

On the BHU centralised admission portal at admission.bhu.ac.in. The direct link to the Bulletin PDF is accessible from the portal’s “Notices” or “UG Admissions” section.

Do I have to apply separately to BHU after CUET?

Yes. CUET registers your test attempt and score; the BHU UG application on admission.bhu.ac.in is a separate step that enables you to be considered in BHU’s programme-wise merit lists.

How are BHU’s CUET-based merit lists prepared?

BHU prepares programme-wise merit lists using the candidate’s normalised CUET (UG) 2026 NTA score, mapped to the subject combination required for that programme, and adjusted for the prevailing reservation policy.

Bottom line

BHU 2026-27 admissions hinge on one test — CUET (UG) 2026 — but the seat allocation runs on two applications. Pick the right CUET subjects guided by the BHU Information Bulletin, prepare with calibrated mocks, and complete the BHU portal application the moment CUET results drop.
