After BHU LLB 2026 Round 1 seat allotment releases on July 3, you must log in to bhuet.samarth.edu.in, accept your seat, pay the admission fee, and submit documents within the stipulated deadline to confirm your admission.
The Round 1 allotment is the first major checkpoint in BHU LLB 2026 admissions. Missing any step — seat acceptance, fee payment, or document upload — results in automatic cancellation of your allotted seat. This guide walks you through every action you need to take, in the right order, so you do not lose your seat to a procedural lapse.
- Round 1 allotment result: July 3, 2026 — check on bhuet.samarth.edu.in with your application number and password.
- Choose from Freeze, Float/Upgrade, or Withdraw within the acceptance window after viewing your allotment.
- Pay the admission fee online within 3–5 days of the allotment date — non-payment cancels the seat regardless of the option chosen.
- Keep originals and self-attested copies of all certificates ready for physical verification at the Faculty of Law, BHU Varanasi.
- Students who choose Float retain their Round 1 seat and participate in Round 2 for a higher preference.

How to Check BHU LLB 2026 Round 1 Seat Allotment
The Round 1 result will be accessible on bhuet.samarth.edu.in from July 3, 2026. Follow these steps to view and download your allotment letter:
- Go to bhuet.samarth.edu.in and click Login.
- Enter your BHUET application number and password.
- Click the Seat Allotment or Allotment Result tab on your dashboard.
- Download your allotment letter — it contains your allotted programme, seat type, fee payable, and the reporting date.
- Note the acceptance and fee payment deadline printed on the letter; this date is firm and non-extendable.
If no allotment appears on July 3, your rank fell below the Round 1 closing rank. You remain in the waiting pool and will be considered in Round 2 and subsequent rounds as seats fall vacant.
Seat Acceptance Options: Freeze, Float or Withdraw
Once you see your allotment, you must log in and select one of three options before the acceptance window closes. No response within the deadline is treated as withdrawal.
| Option | What It Means | Effect on Future Rounds |
|---|---|---|
| Freeze | You are satisfied with the allotted seat and want to confirm it permanently. | You do not participate in Round 2 or later. Admission is finalised after fee payment and reporting. |
| Float / Upgrade | You accept the current seat but want to try for a higher preference in the next round. | Round 1 seat is protected. You get a better allotment in Round 2 if available; otherwise the Round 1 seat is retained automatically. |
| Withdraw | You decline the allotment and exit BHU LLB 2026 admissions entirely. | Seat is cancelled and released. UGC-prescribed refund norms apply to any fee paid. |
Students who select Float must still pay the admission fee within the Round 1 deadline. Fee payment is not deferred to Round 2. Failure to pay — regardless of the option selected — causes automatic cancellation of the allotment.
How to Pay BHU LLB 2026 Admission Fee
All fee payments are completed online through the Samarth portal. Keep your net banking, UPI, or card credentials ready before you begin.
- Log in to bhuet.samarth.edu.in.
- Navigate to Fee Payment on your admission dashboard.
- Verify the fee amount displayed and select your payment mode (net banking / UPI / debit card / credit card).
- Complete the transaction and wait for the on-screen success confirmation.
- Download and save the fee receipt immediately — you will need this original printout at the time of physical reporting.
The annual tuition fee for BHU LLB (3-year programme) is approximately ?3,000 per year for general category seats. Check your allotment letter for the exact amount payable at the acceptance stage, as the initial instalment may differ from the full annual fee. SC and ST students may be eligible for fee concessions as per BHU norms.
If a payment fails but your bank account is debited, allow 48–72 hours for automatic reversal. Contact the BHU admission helpdesk with your transaction ID if the amount is not reversed after 72 hours.

Physical Reporting and Document Verification
After completing online fee payment and document upload on the portal, you must report in person to the Faculty of Law, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi — 221005 on the date specified in your allotment letter. Physical reporting finalises your enrollment and triggers issuance of your student ID and library card.
What happens during reporting:
- Submit all original documents for verification by the Faculty admission committee.
- Collect your originals back after the committee has verified and stamped your photocopies.
- Complete biometric enrollment — photograph and fingerprint registration at the designated counter.
- Sign the admission register and collect your provisional enrollment slip.
- Check the Faculty notice board or portal for orientation schedule, classroom assignments, and any additional formalities announced on the day.
Students who chose Float and receive a better allotment in Round 2 must report again on the Round 2 reporting date. Completing Round 1 reporting does not substitute for Round 2 formalities.

BHU LLB 2026 Round 1 Seat Allotment FAQs
Ques. What happens if I miss the fee payment deadline after Round 1 allotment?
Ans. Missing the fee payment deadline results in automatic cancellation of your Round 1 allotment. The seat is released to the next student on the merit list. You may still be considered in subsequent rounds if vacancies remain, but there is no guarantee of another allotment.
Ques. If I choose Float and Round 2 does not give me a better seat, do I lose my Round 1 allotment?
Ans. No. Choosing Float means your Round 1 seat is fully protected. If Round 2 offers a higher preference from your choices, you move to that seat. If not, your Round 1 seat is retained automatically — you are never left without a seat simply because you chose Float.
Ques. What documents do I need to upload online before physical reporting?
Ans. Upload scanned copies of your BHUET scorecard, Round 1 allotment letter, fee receipt, Class 10 and 12 certificates, graduation mark sheets (for LLB 3-year applicants), category certificate if applicable, and a recent passport-size photograph. Bring originals of all documents for physical verification at the Faculty of Law.
Ques. Is the admission fee refundable if I withdraw after paying?
Ans. BHU follows UGC refund norms. Withdrawal before the academic session begins entitles you to a refund minus a processing fee of up to ?1,000. Refund eligibility reduces once classes begin, depending on the exact date of withdrawal. Check the refund policy on bhuet.samarth.edu.in for current year specifics.
Ques. When is the physical reporting date for BHU LLB 2026 Round 1?
Ans. The exact reporting date is printed in your Round 1 allotment letter, available on bhuet.samarth.edu.in from July 3, 2026. Based on the 2025 counselling cycle, physical reporting is expected in the July 9–12 window. Always confirm from your allotment letter and the official portal before travelling to Varanasi.
Ques. Can I change my option — Freeze, Float, or Withdraw — after submitting it?
Ans. Once you submit your option and complete fee payment, the choice is generally final for that round. The portal does not allow revision after submission within the same round. If you selected an option by error, contact the BHU admission helpdesk immediately at bhuet.samarth.edu.in with your application number.
