COUNSELLING PROCEDURE :
The University will follow computerised (online) counselling procedure for admissions to various courses during the academic session 2015-16. The scheduling of different phases of Counselling would be done in the following manner:

i). Three Phase Counselling: Such regular courses, which have provision of paid seats and are concurrently run on the main campus, affiliated colleges and/or RGSC, the admissions will be made in three segments. In the first segment (which could be of 5-6 days, depending on the availability of seats in the course), regular fee seats on the main Campus would be filled up. After the regular fee seats are full, admission on paid seats on the main campus (wherever available) would be done in the second segment of counseling (1-2 day). In the third segment, seats in the affiliated College and/or RGSC would be filled up.

ii). Two Phase Counselling: Such regular courses, which have provision of paid seats and are run on the main campus only, the admissions will be made in two segments. In the first segment (which could be of 5-6 days, depending on the availability of seats in the course), regular fee seats on the main Campus would be filled up. After the regular fee seats are full, admission on paid seats on the main campus (wherever available) would be done in the second segment of counseling (1-2 day).

iii). One Phase Counselling: Such Courses which do not have provision for paid seats (such as Special Courses of Study and courses running under paid fee structure) and are run only at one location (Main Campus or RGSC), the admissions will be made in one segment which could be of 5-6 days, depending on the availability of seats in the course.

The counselling procedure will involve following steps:
STEP 1: ONLINE PREFERENCE ENTRY (UPTO THE COUNSELLING DATE)
Every candidate called for counselling for admission to a Course shall be required to fill up an online Preference Entry Form as follows:

a). Click on the Button „Preference Entry” icon on the Candidate segment of the Entrance Test Portal [bhuonline.in] for online preference entry.

b). Give your preference of various Course(s) given in the Preference Entry Form. However, in certain courses, there may not be any choice and the page will show only one course with prefilled text box.

c). Enter the percentage of marks (upto 02 decimal points) obtained in Qualifying Examination in the box given for the purpose in the online Preference Entry Form.

d). If interested, give your paid seat option. However, paid seats would be allotted to only such candidates, in order of merit, who are present in person on the Paid Seat Counselling Date/Time along with Paid Seat Fee (in the form of demand draft drawn in favour of Registrar, BHU)

e). Save the details entered.

f). If there are more than one preference entry form (one for the main campus and other for the affiliated college/ RGSC), fill up both completely in the aforesaid manner.

Note:
i). Give your order of preference carefully. No section of the online preference form should be left blank. If any section is left blank, it will be presumed that candidate is not interested in that option. Candidates will get another opportunity of making changes in the entries made in the Online Preference Entry Form on the day of counselling (prior to verification of documents).

ii). In B.Sc (Hons)- Bio Group, B.Sc (Hons)- Maths Group and BA (Hons.)-Social Sciences [Main Faculty] admissions will be made in Honours-Combinations.

iii). In BA (Hons)-Arts [Main Faculty] and BA (Hons.)-Social Sciences [MMV] admissions will be made in Honours subject only. After admission of a candidate in an Honours subject, the other two subjects [as per approved combinations for the concerned honours] would be allotted in order of merit. The choice of combination subjects can be exercised by a candidate only after he has secured admission in an honours subject .

iv). In BA (Hons)-Arts [MMV] allotment of Honours and combinations would be done manually in order of merit. Exercise your choice of course, paid seat option and requirement of hostel on the day of counseling on the form provided by the Admission Committee.

STEP 2: ACTIVITY ON THE DAY OF COUNSELLING
The call letter contains the reporting date(s) and time of counseling and the venue where you are required to report for counseling. Please ensure that you reach the counseling venue on the prescribed date and time. After reaching the counseling venue following steps needs to be followed:

a) Reach the counselling venue at the prescribed time/date(s) given in this Call letter. Contact the Counselling Centre/Venue Incharge and mark your attendance by signing the attendance sheet available with the Counselling Centre Incharge.

b) Discuss with the teacher-counsellors available at the Counselling Centre/Venue about the available Honours/Course Combinations, locations and fee structures, availability of hostels, etc. In case you want to change your preference [earlier filled up by you ONLINE], you can do at this stage. After preference entry form is finalised, get its printout, sign it and submit it alongwith other required original documents at the Verification Desk. Preference Entry Form once signed and confirmed by a Candidate on the Counselling Date shall be final and shall not be changed later. The computer will allot seats strictly in order of merit in the entrance test taking into account the order of preference filled up by the candidate and availability of seats.

NOTE: If a Reserved Meritorious candidate is called for counselling alongwith General category candidates his/her claim on seats reserved for his/her category shall remain intact.

The concerned Admission Committee will ascertain your eligibility for hostel allotment during counselling. The hostel allotment will also be done strictly in accordance with merit subject to availability of seats.

d) The concerned Admission Committee will also retain your set of verified documents (photocopy/originals).

STEP 3: DECLARATION OF ADMISSION LIST
The concerned Admission Committee would release/ publish the admission list on each day of Counselling ordinarily between 06:00 p.m.- 08:00 p.m.

As soon as results are published by the concerned Admission Committee(s), log in into the portal (as you have logged in for downloading call letter and making preference entry), and click on “COURSE ALLOCATION” icon to see whether you have been offered provisional admission. The course allocation would be based on your merit in the UET/PET, preferences filled up by you and the availability of seats in the course on the day of Counselling.

In case you are offered provisional admission, make payment of the admission fee before the deadline (which would be normally 06:00 p.m. of the following day) failing which offer of admission will stand withdrawn.

Note: As results would be declared between 06:00-08:00 p.m. on each day of Counselling, all candidates are required to check their admission status on the ‘Course Allocation’ page every day positively as those who have secured their admission after initial rounds of declaration of admission lists may get upgradation to a course more preferred by them and those in waitlist on the counseling date may receive offer of admission due to dropouts/withdrawal in previous rounds. In case initially waitlisted candidates receive offer in subsequent rounds of declaration of admission lists, they will also be required to pay the admission fee on the following day by 06.00 p.m..

STEP 4: MODE OF PAYMENT OF ADMISSION FEE:
Following admission fee payment modes will be available for the students admitted on the BHU Main Campus and RGSC:
1) Online payment (through Debit Card/Credit Card/Net banking) through the payment gateway available on the Portal.
2) In cash at any branch of ICICI Bank in India through Challan downloaded from the payment page of the candidate’s portal.

In case the status shows as “HOSTEL ALOTTED”, make payment of Hostel Fee as well through either of the modes of fee payment given above (in the same manner as given for payment of Admission Fee) within the deadline prescribed for payment else it will be considered that you are not interested in seeking hostel facility and the provisional offer of allotment of hostel will be treated as withdrawn and the seat so spared may be offered to next candidate in the merit.
