How to Login to MDUCEE 2026 Samarth Portal for Counselling

  5. Complete the captcha and click Submit.
  6. An OTP will be sent to your registered email ID — check your inbox and your spam or junk folder.
  7. Enter the OTP on the portal to verify your account.
  8. Create a new password and save it securely — you will need it for every subsequent login.

How to Recover MDUCEE 2026 Application Number

If you cannot remember your MDUCEE 2026 application number or enrollment number, use one of the three methods below before attempting to log in to the Samarth portal.

Method 1 — Check Your Email and SMS

  • Search your inbox for a confirmation message from MDU Rohtak or mduadmission.samarth.edu.in sent when you submitted your application form.
  • Your application or enrollment number appears in the subject line or the body of this email.
  • Also check SMS messages on your registered mobile number — MDU sends an acknowledgment text after successful form submission.

Method 2 — Contact MDU via Email

  • Email admissions.cdoe@mdu.ac.in with: full name, registered mobile number, registered email ID, and programme name.
  • Alternatively write to reg.admission@mdu.ac.in with the same details.
  • MDU will verify your identity and reply with your application number. Email is faster than phone and creates a documented trail.

Method 3 — Visit MDU Admission Office in Person

  • If email does not work within a reasonable time, visit the CDOE Building, MDU Campus, Rohtak, Haryana 124001.
  • Office hours: 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, Monday to Friday (excluding gazetted holidays).
  • Carry a government-issued photo ID and any proof of your application such as a payment receipt or bank transaction record.

Common MDUCEE 2026 Login Errors on Samarth Portal

The table below lists the most frequently reported errors on mduadmission.samarth.edu.in during MDUCEE 2026 counselling and the fix for each.

Troubleshooting Tips for Samarth Portal Login Issues

If the fixes in the error table above did not resolve your MDUCEE 2026 login problem, work through these steps in order before calling the helpdesk.

  1. Use Incognito or Private mode — this bypasses cached data and expired cookies that can break the login page.
  2. Switch browsers — if Chrome does not load the portal correctly, try Mozilla Firefox or Microsoft Edge.
  3. Verify the URL — the correct address is mduadmission.samarth.edu.in. Confirm the padlock icon (HTTPS) appears in the address bar before entering any credentials.
  4. Clear browser cache and cookies — go to browser settings, clear all cached data, close and reopen the browser, then visit the portal again.
  5. Check your internet connection — a slow or unstable connection can interrupt OTP delivery and prevent pages from loading fully.
  6. Try a different device — if the desktop browser fails, use a smartphone or tablet with mobile data to rule out a local network issue.
  7. Avoid peak hours — the MDU Samarth portal can be congested when counselling rounds open. Try logging in early morning or late evening for a smoother experience.

MDU will verify your identity and share the application number with you.

Ques. Why am I not receiving the OTP on the Samarth portal?

Ans. MDU conducts up to four rounds of MDUCEE 2026 counselling — three online rounds and one physical round for seats that remain vacant after the online rounds. Students who are not allotted a seat in an earlier round remain eligible for the next round.

Ques. Is it safe to log in to the Samarth portal on a mobile phone?

Ans. Yes. You can log in using a smartphone browser. If the portal layout looks broken, switch to Desktop Mode in your mobile browser settings.
