Kumaun University admission 2026 for its 116 UG/PG programs across eight faculties at DSB Nainital and Bhimtal campuses starts with online registration on January 15 via the ERP portal at kuntl.net, prioritizing 10+2 scores (minimum 45% general for UG, 50% reserved) or bachelor's marks (55% for PG), with 20% seats reserved for CUET-UG/PG performers and 35% domicile quota for Uttarakhand hill residents—enabling over 1,50,000 students to access NAAC A-grade education in forestry, biotech, and law without entrance barriers for most merit tracks. This guide pulls from the 2025-26 prospectus patterns (merit lists released April 10 onward) to outline exact steps, cutoffs from last year (e.g., B.Sc Botany at 78% general), and document checklists, so you can apply confidently for July session starts and claim ₹50 Lakhs in annual scholarships.

Kumaun University UG admission 2026 covers 50+ programs like B.Sc Forestry and BA Economics, with selection purely merit-based on Class 12 marks for 80% seats and CUET-UG for the rest, ensuring rural Uttarakhand applicants with 40% reserved scores get priority in 20,000+ spots across 82 affiliates.

• Minimum eligibility: 10+2 from recognized board with 45% aggregate (40% SC/ST/OBC); subject-specific like PCB for B.Sc Biotech.
• Domicile benefit: 35% seats for Uttarakhand natives, plus 5% EWS relaxation.
• Last year's trend: Cutoffs dropped 2-3% for arts streams due to NEP flexibility.
