Banaras Hindu University Undergraduate Entrance Test Eligibility Criteria 2026

A candidate seeking undergraduate admission must have passed Class 12 or an equivalent examination from a recognised board, or be appearing in it in the year of admission, and must have studied the subjects prescribed for the programme applied for. Some professional and vocational courses at the university require a specific stream or subject combination at the school level, which is listed course by course in the admission bulletin. Candidates must also have appeared in the prescribed papers of the national common entrance test for the relevant year, since the score is the basis of the merit list. Minimum qualifying marks, category relaxations, age conditions and rules for candidates awaiting results are set out in the university's official notification, and eligibility is verified during counselling before a seat is confirmed.
