If you missed out on earlier counselling rounds at Banaras Hindu University, this is your last opportunity to grab a seat. BHU PG Spot Round 2025 registration began on August 12, 2025, and the process will remain open until August 17, 2025 via the official portal bhucuetpg.samarth.edu.in.
This round is held just to fill the remaining vacant seats after the regular allotment process, and the allotment will be done among the registered candidates who are eligible through merit.
Who Can Apply for the BHU PG Spot Round 2025
The spot round isn’t just for fresh applicants; BHU has opened the doors for multiple categories of students:
- New candidates who have not registered for BHU PG Counselling 2025 yet.
- Students who registered earlier but did not receive any seat in the regular allotment rounds.
- Those who were offered a seat earlier but missed paying the admission fee on time.
- Students whose admissions were cancelled, withdrawn, or rejected during document verification.
Such candidates can also change their course preferences or select new options depending on the seat availability.
However, there’s a ₹500 non-refundable registration fee for everyone. This fee is mandatory to complete the application.
Who Cannot Apply
Not everyone is eligible for the BHU PG Spot Round 2025. The following are excluded:
- Candidates who already have a confirmed seat in previous counselling rounds.
- Students admitted before 12 PM on August 12, 2025, since that point, the portal for admitted students has been locked, preventing upgrades or withdrawals.
BHU has made it clear: this round is not a backdoor to reshuffle your confirmed seat; it’s for filling up genuinely vacant slots.
Important Notes from BHU
BHU has advised all applicants to check seat availability and eligibility before applying. For courses that involve group discussions, personal interviews, practical exams, or performance tests, only candidates who were previously waitlisted and have already attended these assessments can take part in the spot round.
No fresh GD/PI or performance tests will be conducted at this stage.
Key Dates for BHU PG Spot Round 2025
- August 12, 2025 – Spot round registration opens.
- August 17, 2025 – Last date to register and pay the ₹500 fee.
- August 18, 2025 – First allotment list for the spot round to be released.
- August 22, 2025 – Possible second spot round if seats remain.
Why This Round Matters
For students aiming to go for the 2025-26 academic year in BHU PG, this round matters a lot because the admission window will close until the next academic year after this round ends.
If you missed earlier deadlines due to payment delays, verification issues, or simply not registering in time, this is your second chance. And unlike regular counselling rounds, competition here will be sharper, because everyone applying now is chasing the last available seats.
How to Approach It
- Register quickly on bhucuetpg.samarth.edu.in before the August 17 deadline.
- Pay the ₹500 fee without delay; it’s non-refundable, so be sure before you apply.
- Update your course preferences to match realistic seat availability.
- Have your documents ready for immediate verification if allotted.
Final Word
The BHU PG Round 2025 seats will be given purely on merit, so register early and follow up on notifications to not miss any chance, or else you will have to wait another year for it. Once the list is announced, there won’t be another way in, this is the last chance to act on before the final window closes.
