BHU PG 2026 Admission 2nd Round Cut Off Released: Merit List, Seat Allotment & Counselling Updates

Banaras Hindu University (BHU) has released the BHU PG 2nd Round Cut Off 2026 for postgraduate admissions through CUET PG 2026. Candidates who participated in the counselling process can now check the second merit list, seat allotment status, and programme-wise cut-off on the official admission portal.

Compared to Round 1, the closing scores have declined only slightly in most programmes. The limited movement is largely due to ongoing counselling at universities such as JNU and DU, where many candidates are still holding multiple admission offers. Here, you can find the latest cut-off details, important counselling dates, expected Round 3 trends, and Spot Round eligibility.

BHU PG 2nd Allotment List 2026 Overview

The BHU PG 2nd Allotment List 2026 has been released under the Combined Allotment Program for postgraduate courses. The allotment is based on CUET PG score, candidate preference, seat availability, category, and university rules.  

BHU PG Counselling 2026 Important Dates 

Candidates should follow all counselling dates after the release of the BHU PG 2026 Admission 2nd Round Cut Off. Missing any deadline may affect admission status.

BHU PG Round 2 Seat Allotment 2026

The BHU PG Round 2 Seat Allotment 2026 has been completed for eligible candidates who registered for counselling. Candidates allotted a seat must complete all required steps within the given deadline.

Candidates should:

• Check the allotted programme and category.

• Accept the seat through the admission portal.

• Pay the admission fee within the deadline.

BHU PG Second Merit List 2026

The BHU PG Second Merit List 2026 has been prepared based on CUET PG 2026 score, candidate category, course preference, and seat availability. The merit list includes the latest admission status for several postgraduate courses.

The second merit list includes:

• Programme-wise admission status

• Category-wise closing scores

• BHU quota and Non-BHU quota details

• Paid and regular programme cut-offs

• Minimum admission score for each programme

Candidates should check the official cut-off document carefully because closing scores may differ by course, category, and seat type.

Why Has the BHU PG 2nd Round Cut Off 2026 Not Dropped Much?

Many candidates expected the BHU PG 2nd Round Cut Off 2026 to fall sharply after Round 1. However, the decline has remained small in several programmes. In many courses, the drop has been limited to around 5 to 10 marks in the UR category. 

1. JNU Cut Off Is Yet to Be Released

The JNU PG counselling cut-off was expected around June 25. Until JNU releases its merit list, many students who applied to BHU as a backup option are still holding their seats. Once JNU results are out, a good number of students will move to JNU, freeing up seats at BHU.

2. DU Second Cut Off Was Also Delayed

Delhi University's second merit list was delayed as well. Many students applied to BHU as a safety option while waiting for DU. Once DU's second list comes out, another batch of students may leave BHU, again creating seat vacancies.

3. Overlapping Applications Across Universities

Many students apply to BHU, DU, JNU, and Hyderabad University at the same time. The same student may hold seats at multiple universities. As final decisions are made, these students will withdraw from the universities they do not choose. This creates more available seats in later rounds.

4. Multiple Course Applications Within BHU

Students also apply to more than one course inside BHU itself. A student who secures admission in their preferred course will withdraw from the other courses they had applied to. This further opens up seats for other students.

Expected BHU PG 3rd Round Cut Off 2026

The BHU PG 3rd Round Cut Off 2026 may show better seat movement than Round 2. However, the final drop will depend on the number of withdrawals, available seats, course demand, and category-wise participation.

Candidates should not depend only on expected cut-off trends. They should keep checking the official portal and complete all required steps on time if they receive an allotment.

BHU PG Counselling 2026 After Round 2

The BHU PG Counselling 2026 process includes regular allotment rounds followed by the Spot Round for vacant seats. Candidates should understand the process before making any decision.

The counselling process includes:

• Round 1, Round 2, and Round 3 as regular allotment rounds.

• Vacant seats after regular rounds are considered for the Spot Round.

• Candidates who freeze their seat in regular rounds may not be eligible for the Spot Round.

• Courses with practical components may not have a Spot Round.

• Seat allotment depends on merit rank, preference, category, and seat availability.

Candidates should follow the official instructions before withdrawing, freezing, or upgrading their seats.

BHU PG Spot Round 2026 Eligibility

The BHU PG Spot Round 2026 will be conducted only if seats remain vacant after regular counselling rounds. The official dates will be announced on the BHU admission portal.

Candidates may be eligible for the Spot Round if they:

• Did not get a seat in regular rounds.

• Registered earlier but could not pay the fee.

• Withdrew their admission.

• Had their admission cancelled.

• Did not register earlier, but meets the eligibility conditions.

A non-refundable registration fee of ₹500 may apply for new Spot Round registrations. Seat allotment in the Spot Round will depend on vacant seats, merit rank, order of preference, and category.
