BU Bhopal Admission FAQs

Ques. How does the admission process differ at BU Bhopal for courses under University Teaching departments vs Affiliated Colleges?

Ans. University Teaching Departments (UTDs) handle admissions internally through the BU Bhopal's official admission portal, while the affiliated colleges follow BU Bhopal’s guidelines for admissions but they allocate seats at the institution level. The overall details such as academic calendar, eligibility rules, and merit lists are handled by BU Bhopal, while the document verification and fee collection might be done as per the individual institution.

Ques. Why does the counseling process and merit list publication get delayed at BU Bhopal?

Ans. Delays in the counseling process and merit list publication usually occur when the University is awaiting results of the qualifying entrance examination. Delays can also occur when affiliated colleges delay data submission, or technical errors block the official website. In such cases, BU Bhopal pre informs and notifies the updated dates through its official website.

Ques. Can students apply for admission if they miss the first counselling round?

Ans. Yes, students can still apply for admissions at BU Bhopal, even after missing the first counseling round. Students can apply for the spot admission or subsequent counseling rounds. Seats are allotted if there is availability. Subsequent counseling rounds are common in UG & PG courses. Candidates must be regularly updated with the official website in such cases.

Ques. Can students apply for multiple programs at BU Bhopal or its affiliated colleges?

Ans. Yes, students can apply for more than one course at BU Bhopal simultaneously, considering the following factors:

  • Students will have to submit separate application forms and separate admission fee.
  • Students will have to verify their documents individually for each course.
  • The schedules of those courses must not overlap with each other.

Admission:

I chose this college over the other colleges because the college was very good with the good University background and it gave all the courses which I wanted to pursue. Compared to the other colleges IEHE had better course curriculum, the subjects are electives aligned well with my career goals. When I was applying for colleges I considered server options based on the faculties the environment of the campus and the courses and the career perspective sum of the other colleges I applied was LNCT and BSSS I got the admission letter in that also I was in the merit list but I ultimately choose this college because it offered a better combination of the quality education and flexible course options. I never get rejections from other colleges. I applied to three colleges and all the three colleges I got the admission letter. The admission process of my college was very transparent and it was very student-friendly and also the eligibility of students were they they should have completed their 12th grade with 60%.

Initial plan was to do engineering so I gave all the entrances and then also tried at many private universities like the LNCT, Sagar Group, Jagran Lakecity University and others. However then because I made up my mind that I will pursue BCA, i took admission at BSSS where more than 80% score was enough to get admission in BCA.

Admission:

I choose this college for great reputation, NAAC 'A' Grade, balanced environment, add-on courses and location wise in the center of the city bhopal. I didn't select any other colleges as in my mind I was very clear that I want to join BSSS only as my sister also graduated from the same. The admission process was good. Eligibility and cut off for B.com Honours was more than 70% in 12th. And admission was on merit basis so no separate entrance exam. So you just have to fill the form online for BSSS and also a anti ragging form with the same. Then if you are short listed you are called for interview. First with the faculty members and then with the principal. Once selected pay your first installment fees and college uniform fee, then you are done to go.

Admission:

I always wanted to be a part of this college..my first preference was BSSS only..yes I've applied in other colleges as well..but Bsss was my first choice..I was selected in IEHE as well but still I wanted to be a part of Bsss only. As I come from a missionary school background I felt comfortable in going to the similar atmosphere also I got multiple opportunities which helped my overall personality development..it helped me take out my inner talents which were somewhere lost ..it had multiple cultural programmes alongside learning which helped me grow.. I didn't face any rejection from any other college..it's just that my preference was all clear ..The admission process was that u have to apply on the bsss site online then you will get a notification from the collage for the counselling then if you get selected you are supposed to pay the registration fees .. after that the selected candidates list is out and if you are in that well and good and if not you are absolutely given another chance..
