Banaras Hindu University has released the BHU fee structure 2026 for the 2026-27 academic session. Undergraduate fees are set between INR 6,000 and INR 6.4 lakh , while postgraduate fees range from INR 6,000 to INR 2.4 lakh .
BHU fee structure 2026: headline numbers and who it affects
The fee bands cover general, professional, engineering and medical UG programs, and general, professional and research PG programs. These bands are program-dependent; exact per-program fees and hostel/mess charges were not detailed in the announcement.
BHU fee structure 2026: admissions route and immediate steps
Admissions will be through CUET 2026 scores followed by separate BHU CAP registration. Students must complete two steps — appear in CUET and then register for BHU CAP (CAP-UG or CAP-PG 2026) — to be considered for counselling and seat allotment.
Final admission requires document verification and participation in counselling. Candidates who only sit CUET but skip CAP registration risk losing admission opportunities.
Who is eligible and provisional application rules
UG applicants must have passed Class 12 from a recognised board; Class 12 final-year students may apply provisionally. PG applicants need a relevant bachelor’s degree; final-year bachelor students can also apply provisionally. CUET subject combinations must match the chosen program, and CUET-PG papers must correspond to the postgraduate course.
Some programs will add department-level tests or interviews before final selection.
Reservation, quotas and key rules students must note
BHU provides reservation for SC, ST, OBC-NCL, EWS and PwBD categories. Sports quota and a BHU employee ward quota are also available, along with a foreign-national quota for international candidates. Reserved-category applicants must present valid certificates during verification.
Students must ensure that details in their CUET application and BHU CAP registration match exactly. Any mismatch between CUET and CAP records can lead to cancellation of admission. BHU does not permit simultaneous enrolment in two regular degree programs, and use of forged documents will result in cancellation and legal action.
Where to apply and what to watch for
After CUET results, register on the BHU CAP portal to fill choices and attend counselling. Watch CAP-UG and CAP-PG 2026 schedules closely; missing CAP deadlines can forfeit your seat. Exact program-wise fees, instalment options, scholarship details and refund policies were not specified in the fee release and should be checked on the official BHU admission portal.
