Hi, CUET (Common University Entrance Test) is the main factor used to determine admission to Banaras Hindu University's (BHU) Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) in English (Honours) program. Since 2022, BHU has replaced its prior entrance tests for undergraduate admissions with the CUET.

Eligibility Criteria:

  • Educational Requirement: You must have passed the 10+2 or a comparable test administered by an approved board. Although the minimum aggregate scores may differ, having a solid academic record is advised.
  • Age Requirement: As of July 1st of the entrance year, candidates must not be older than 22. Therefore, students must have been born on July 2, 2002, or later.

Admission Process:

  • CUET Exam: Make sure to choose English as one of your subjects when you register and take the CUET. The primary criteria for admission will be how well you perform on this test.
  • Merit List: Taking into account the university's reservation procedures, BHU will compile a merit list based on CUET results. Students that make the short list will be contacted for counselling and additional admissions processes.

Please note: BHU offers seats for a number of groups, including Scheduled Castes (SC), Scheduled Tribes (ST), Other Backward Classes (OBC), and Persons with Disabilities (PWD), in accordance with the Government of India's quota regulations.
