BHU UET Application Form 2027: Registration Expected January 2027, Eligibility and How to Apply

Banaras Hindu University Undergraduate Entrance Test (BHU UET) is the common name for BHU’s UG admission process — one of the most competitive in India, with 8,900+ seats across faculties of Arts, Science, Commerce, Law, Education, Fine Arts, and Agriculture. Since 2022, BHU UG admission no longer uses a standalone BHU UET exam; selection is based entirely on CUET UG scores conducted by NTA. The BHU UET 2027 application process will unfold in two steps: register for CUET UG 2027 at cuet.nta.nic.in (expected January 2027), then apply on BHU’s institutional Samarth portal at admission.bhu.ac.in (expected July 2027 after results). The BHU institutional application fee is ₹500 for General/OBC-NCL/EWS and ₹250 for SC/ST/PwBD students — separate from the CUET UG exam fee paid to NTA.

What is BHU UET Application Form 2027?

Banaras Hindu University (BHU), Varanasi is a central university and one of the most prestigious in India. BHU offers more than 8,900 UG seats across its faculties of Arts, Science, Commerce, Law, Education, Fine Arts, Music, and Agriculture, as well as its constituent college Mahila Mahavidyalaya and affiliated colleges. Since 2022, all UG admissions at BHU are based on CUET UG scores — BHU no longer conducts a standalone entrance exam. The "BHU UET application form" now refers to the two-step process: qualifying CUET UG 2027 (conducted by NTA at cuet.nta.nic.in) and then completing BHU’s institutional registration on its Samarth portal at admission.bhu.ac.in. Both steps are mandatory — you cannot secure a BHU seat without completing them. Bookmark this page for updates when the official 2027 schedule is released.

BHU UET Registration Trends — Last 5 Years

Note: Figures represent total CUET UG registrations across all participating universities (250+). BHU-specific institutional registration counts are not published separately. Prior to 2022, BHU conducted its own entrance exam (BHU UET) with approximately 3–3.5 lakh annual registrations at its peak.

CUET UG registrations peaked in 2023 — the second year of the exam — before dipping sharply in 2024 as NTA restricted paper combinations and several deemed universities exited the CUET framework. Registrations recovered from 2025 as more state and private universities joined, with 2026 seeing numbers approach the 2022 level again. For 2027, registrations are expected to remain above 15 lakh as CUET continues to expand; BHU, as one of the most sought-after CUET-participating universities, will receive strong institutional registration numbers.

BHU UET Application Form 2027: Important Dates

The BHU UET 2027 application spans two portals and multiple months. CUET UG 2027 registration will open first (January 2027), followed by BHU’s institutional window after CUET results (July 2027). All dates below are expected based on the 2026 cycle; official confirmation will come in NTA’s and BHU’s 2027 notifications.

Note: All 2027 dates above are expected based on the previous cycle’s pattern and are subject to official notification by NTA (for CUET UG) and BHU (for institutional registration). Official dates will be published at cuet.nta.nic.in and admission.bhu.ac.in respectively. Bookmark this page for live updates.

BHU UET 2027 Eligibility Criteria (Before You Apply)

Check BHU’s programme-specific eligibility criteria before registering for CUET UG 2027 — applying for CUET with a wrong subject combination means you cannot claim admission to that programme at BHU. The conditions below apply to most mainstream UG programmes; verify exact requirements in the BHU 2027 Information Bulletin (to be released at admission.bhu.ac.in).

Note: BHU applies programme-specific eligibility rigorously. Submitting an application for a programme you are ineligible for will result in cancellation of your registration — and the application fee will not be refunded. Check the 2027 Information Bulletin before filling your CUET UG subject choices.

How to Fill BHU UET Application Form 2027

The BHU UET 2027 application is a two-phase process. You must complete Phase 1 (CUET UG 2027 registration at NTA’s portal) first, appear for the exam, and obtain your scorecard before Phase 2 (BHU institutional registration) opens. Both portals are separate; a login on one does not carry over to the other.

Phase 1: CUET UG 2027 Registration (Expected January–February 2027)

1. Visit the official CUET UG portal at https://cuet.nta.nic.in when registration opens in the first week of January 2027.
2. Click "New Registration" and enter your name, date of birth, mobile number, and email ID exactly as they appear on your Class 10 certificate.
3. Verify your mobile number and email ID using the OTPs sent via SMS and email.
4. Set a strong password and note your CUET Application Number securely — you will need it for admit card, result, and BHU’s institutional portal.
5. Fill in personal and academic details, and in the "Participating Universities" section, select Banaras Hindu University along with your chosen programmes and domain subjects.
6. Upload your passport-size photograph and signature in JPG format within the specified size limits.
7. Pay the CUET UG 2027 exam fee via debit card, credit card, net banking, or UPI.

Phase 2: BHU Institutional Registration (Expected July 2027)

1. After CUET UG 2027 results are declared (expected June–July 2027), visit BHU’s official admission portal at https://admission.bhu.ac.in.
2. Click "New Registration" and register using your name, mobile number, and email ID as used in your CUET UG application.
3. Log in and fill in your personal details: name, date of birth, gender, category, and state of domicile.
4. Enter your CUET UG 2027 Application Number and Roll Number — BHU’s portal will fetch and verify your scorecard automatically.
5. Fill in your Class 10 and Class 12 details: board name, year of passing, roll number, and percentage.
6. Select your programme preferences from the list of available BHU UG courses in order of preference.
7. Upload your photograph, signature, marksheets, and category certificate (if applicable) in the specified format and size.
8. Review all entries carefully — cross-check name spelling, date of birth, category, CUET score display, and programme preferences before proceeding.
9. Pay the BHU institutional application fee (₹500 for General/OBC-NCL/EWS; ₹250 for SC/ST/PwBD) via online mode.
10. Download and save your BHU registration confirmation page — take a printout and store it safely.

Note: Submit only one application on BHU’s institutional portal. Multiple submissions from the same student will be rejected outright and the application fee will not be refunded under any circumstances.

Documents Required for BHU UET Application Form 2027

You will need to upload scanned copies of the documents listed below during BHU’s Phase 2 institutional registration. Prepare and pre-scan all documents before the window opens — last-minute scanning issues frequently cause delays and errors. Specifications below are based on the 2026 cycle; confirm exact size limits in the BHU 2027 Information Bulletin.

Note: Upload a recent passport-size photograph taken after January 2027, with a plain white background and your face clearly visible. Do not upload edited, filtered, or studio-retouched photographs — BHU rejects manipulated images during document verification, and your registration may be cancelled without a fee refund.

BHU UET Application Fee 2027

The BHU UET 2027 process involves two separate, non-refundable fees: the CUET UG 2027 exam fee (paid to NTA on cuet.nta.nic.in during Phase 1) and the BHU institutional registration fee (paid to BHU on admission.bhu.ac.in during Phase 2). The table below covers the BHU institutional fee only; check NTA’s official notification for the CUET UG 2027 exam fee structure.

Payment accepted via: Debit Card, Credit Card, Net Banking, UPI. No offline payment method (cheque, demand draft, or cash) is accepted on BHU’s portal.

Note: If your payment fails, do not retry immediately — wait 48–72 hours for the failed amount to be auto-refunded to your original payment source before attempting the payment again. Retrying before the refund arrives can cause double deduction. Contact BHU’s admission helpdesk if the amount is not refunded within 72 hours.

Note: The BHU application fee is non-refundable under any circumstances — even if your form is rejected during scrutiny, you withdraw your application, or you do not report for admission. Verify your eligibility before paying.

BHU UET Application Form Correction 2027

The BHU UET 2027 process has two separate correction windows — one on NTA’s CUET UG portal and one on BHU’s institutional portal. Both are limited in scope. Not all fields are editable; plan your entries carefully before submitting each stage.

CUET UG 2027 Correction Window (NTA Portal)

NTA will provide a correction window for CUET UG 2027 typically 4–7 days after the registration close date. You can correct the following on NTA’s portal during this window:

• Photograph and signature uploads (if the original upload was rejected or blurry)
• Exam centre preferences
• Programme choices and domain subject selections
• Category (in specific, documented cases with supporting certificate)

The following cannot be changed on NTA’s CUET portal even during the correction window:

• Name (must match exactly as on Class 10 certificate)
• Date of birth
• Mobile number and email ID used at registration

BHU Institutional Registration Correction Window

BHU may offer a brief correction window after the institutional registration closes. Based on the 2026 cycle, editable fields on BHU’s portal include:

• Photograph and signature
• Category and supporting document uploads (with valid documents)
• Programme preference order

Fields that cannot be changed on BHU’s portal after final submission:

• Name (must match CUET UG 2027 application exactly)
• Date of birth
• CUET UG Application Number and Roll Number
• Mobile number or email ID linked to the account

To make corrections on BHU’s portal during the correction window: Log in at admission.bhu.ac.in → click "Edit Application" → make the required changes → save and re-submit → download the revised confirmation page and keep it safe.

Note: Once the correction window on either portal closes, no changes are accepted under any circumstances — not even with supporting documents. Verify every field carefully before each final submission deadline.
