Category-Wise Allotment: OBC, SC, ST and EWS
BHU PG CET 2026 Round 1 allotment results are available across all reservation categories. The category under which you are allotted a seat depends on your CUET PG score, your submitted preference list and the closing rank within your category. Check your allotment letter carefully to confirm the specific category under which the seat has been offered.
| Category | Seats Reserved | Key Eligibility Requirement |
|---|---|---|
| OBC-NCL | 27% of total intake | Valid Non-Creamy Layer certificate from a competent authority |
| SC | 15% of total intake | Scheduled Caste certificate from a competent authority |
| ST | 7.5% of total intake | Scheduled Tribe certificate from a competent authority |
| EWS | 10% of total intake | EWS certificate issued for the financial year 2025–26 |
| General / UR | Remaining seats | Merit-based; no reservation certificate required |
Students in the OBC-NCL category must note that the Non-Creamy Layer certificate must be valid and issued during the current financial year. EWS students must submit a certificate specifically issued for FY 2025–26; an expired certificate will render you ineligible for the reserved seat and your allotment may be cancelled during document verification.
BHU PG Reservation Breakdown
BHU follows the Central Government reservation policy for all PG programme admissions. Within this framework, horizontal reservation for Persons with Disabilities (PwD) at 5% is applied across all vertical categories (General, OBC-NCL, SC, ST, EWS).
| Reservation Type | Percentage | Nature |
|---|---|---|
| OBC-NCL | 27% | Vertical reservation |
| SC | 15% | Vertical reservation |
| ST | 7.5% | Vertical reservation |
| EWS | 10% | Vertical reservation |
| PwD (within all categories) | 5% | Horizontal reservation |
If a seat is offered under a reserved category in your allotment letter, you cannot convert it to a General category seat. If your CUET PG score qualifies you under the General merit list for that programme, the allotment letter will reflect the General category directly. Always read the category field on your allotment letter before making payment.
