Banaras Hindu University (BHU) has extended its postgraduate (PG) counseling registration deadline for the 2026 academic session. The new application deadline is June 7, 2026 , at 11:59 PM IST. This extension provides additional time for candidates who qualified for the Common University Entrance Test (CUET) PG to complete their registrations.
Registration Process
Interested candidates must apply through the centralized counseling portal at bhucuetpg.samarth.edu.in. The portal facilitates seat allocation for PG programs across arts, humanities, social sciences, and science streams, including M.Sc. in Applied Microbiology and Environmental Sciences. This process covers admissions to BHU's main campus, Mahila Mahavidyalaya (MMV), and affiliated colleges.
To register, applicants should visit the official website. They must click the 'New Registration' button. Users need to enter their NTA CUET PG application number and personal details. This includes reservation category and undergraduate semester grades. Candidates then select their desired PG courses and rank campus preferences. Finally, required documents must be uploaded, and a non-refundable fee paid online.
