BHU UG Cut Off 2026 Live: First Round Cutoff, Eligibility Marks and Previous Year Comparison

Frequently asked eligibility questions

Can I get BHU with 300 marks in CUET UG?

It depends entirely on which programme, college, and category you’re looking at. Based on the 2025 Round 1 data above, 300 marks in the general category would fall short of the central Faculty of Arts and Faculty of Social Sciences cutoffs for most English, Economics, and Political Science combinations, but it would likely be enough for many BA Honours combinations at affiliated colleges such as Vasant Kanya Mahavidyalaya or Vasanta College for Women, and comfortably enough under OBC, SC, or ST cutoffs in several subjects.

Can I get BHU in 400 marks in CUET UG?

400 marks in the general category clears the closing score for almost every BA Honours arts and social science combination listed above, including the more competitive Economics and Political Science pairings at the Faculty of Social Sciences. It would not, on its own, clear BCom Honours at the main commerce faculty, where the general cutoff crossed 540 in 2025, or the more competitive BSc Honours combinations like Mathematics with Computer Science.

Can I get BHU in 150 marks?

150 marks in the general category is unlikely to secure a seat in most mainstream BA, BCom, or BSc Honours programmes at BHU’s central faculties, based on 2025 closing data. It can, however, be within range for SC, ST, or PwD category candidates in select subject combinations at affiliated colleges, where cutoffs dropped as low as the 80s and 100s for some quota categories in 2025.

How much CUET UG cutoff is needed for BHU overall?

There’s no single overall cutoff for BHU. Every one of its roughly 23 UG programmes, spread across the main campus and affiliated colleges, has its own closing score by category and by round, and scores generally fall further with each successive round as seats vacate.

Does BHU accept CUET UG scores directly, or is there a separate exam?

BHU admits to all its undergraduate programmes purely through CUET UG scores. There is no separate BHU-specific entrance test for these courses; the university runs its own centralised counselling, called CAP-UG, on top of the CUET UG result to allot seats.

Can I get admission to BHU without appearing for CUET?

No. CUET UG is mandatory for BHU undergraduate admission across its participating programmes. Without a valid CUET UG score, you cannot register for BHU’s CAP-UG counselling.

Is 500 out of 750 good for CUET UG, and will it get me into BHU?

A score of 500 out of 750 raw marks is a solid CUET UG performance, but where it lands you at BHU depends on the specific subject’s raw-to-normalised conversion and that year’s applicant pool for the course you want. In several BA Honours combinations, a score in this range has historically been enough for a central faculty seat; for the most sought-after courses such as BCom Honours or the highest-demand BSc combinations, it may only be sufficient at an affiliated college rather than the main campus.

Where to check the official BHU UG cutoff and allotment

The two BHU-run sources worth bookmarking for this admission cycle are the official BHU admission portal’s UG cutoff page and the BHU CAP-UG Samarth counselling portal, where individual allotment results and freeze/upgrade options appear under each candidate’s login. Third-party education sites can help with context and past-year comparisons, but the category-wise, programme-wise cutoff figure that actually determines your seat only comes from BHU itself, so always verify against the official portal before making a decision on freezing or upgrading your allotment.
