Admission:

I applied in the Central University of South Bihar for the same course and got selected there too. The reason for choosing Banaras Hindu University over Central University of South Bihar was that CUSB was comparatively newer than BHU. BHU has a well established name in the field of law. Its location is also very spiritual and the people are very nice over here. The lush green and vast campus of BHU gives it edge of CUSB. Plus the faculty of BHU is definitely better than CUSB. The admission process is very simple. If you have cleared the cutoff then you have to pay the course fees. You'll be called for document verification, there will be induction programme and you're done.

Admission:

There are many other agricultural universities in India including iari that are considered the aiims of agriculture but the fact that BHU offers other activities also like sports and music, dance, athelete and many more things that help to develop your overall persona rather than just relying on grades and scores. Definitely iari is good but the course of bachelors is comparatively new there being 3 years old it started back in 2022 only, i would say iari is good for masters and PhD but for bachelors there is not a single competition of bhu in India. You've to give CUET as the entrance exam for bhu agriculture if you're an Indian and you've 55% score in your 12th with subject combination pcb,pcm or abc then you're eligible. Cutoff is definitely high for bhu as it is the top ranked university in India so you've to work accordingly. After exam results are out the admission process is so smooth.

Admission:

The eligibility criteria for my course bsc (botany hons) is to have pcb in your 12th and then to give CUET exam, after clearing the exam you will get allotted into the different biology courses according to your cuet marks. The cutoff for bsc is higher than arts. Then you have to verify physically in the college for admission process before that you have to register for the course online and the registration fees is 500/- I have also applied in Delhi University but i didn't chose because of cost living. As living in Delhi is so much expensive as compared to here also the campus life is more exciting here and the facilities provided here is more. The best facility is health centre where students get treatment and medicine free.

Admission:

The admission process is based on your cuet marks and trust me the 10th/12th or equivalent degree doesn't really matters. The minimum criteria is obviously more than 50% but the whole focus is on cuet marks. The cut offs are different for different courses it might go high like(270-180/300)as in my course or might get too low because of the difficulty level obviously (200-150/300) or maybe based on the seats left . But if you crack it you will obviously get a chance to be in the most reputed college.

BHU: 7 Answered Questions

How many marks have been necessary to take admissions in the BHU (math)?

Vishal KumarBSc from Banaras Hindu University

The BSc (Maths) entrance exam is BHU is one of the easiest exams. You can score fairly good marks by just going through your 12th-grade Maths, Physics, and Chemistry books. Study Chemistry from NCERT book. A thorough study of the following chapters will get you good marks:

  • Biomolecule

  • Polymer

  • Animes

  • Chemistry in everyday life

The questions in the entrance exam are mostly based on direct concepts or formulas.

As far as the number of marks necessary is concerned, there is no fixed digit. But at least attempt 70 questions without mistakes. This means you need to score at least 210 marks out of 450. However, this number keeps changing based on the pattern of the question paper.

How can I get admission in BHU through a paid seat?

Sapna Malik
Alok TiwariStudied at Banaras Hindu University

To know how to get admission to BHU through a paid seat, you must first know what exactly a paid seat is.

Every year BHU conducts entrance exams during the months of April, May and June. After this, the university releases the cutoff list. The students who fail to reach the cutoff but are just slightly below it are offered paid seats. 

The admission process of both regular and paid seats is the same. A call letter will be sent for counseling.

The biggest drawback of paid seats is that the fees are extremely high compared to the regular ones.

Does BHU offer admission only to Hindus?

Pranjal Sapra

For years, there's been a doubt lingering among Indian students. Is BHU for Hindus and AMU for Muslims? Though both universities might include Hindu and Muslim in their names, they welcome students from all walks of life. Candidates belonging to any caste and religion can pursue higher education in BHU. 

The university was solely established to promote learning and research generally in Arts and Sciences in all branches and to advance and diffuse such scientific, technical, and professional knowledge, combined with the necessary practical training to promote indigenous industries and to develop the material resources of the country. Moreover, the university also reserves seats for certain minority-category students.
