BHU PET Application Form 2027: Registration Expected May 2027, How to Apply and Documents

The Banaras Hindu University Postgraduate Entrance Test (BHU PET) is the admission gateway to over 100 PG programmes at BHU, Varanasi — one of India’s largest central universities. Since 2022, BHU uses CUET PG scores (conducted by NTA) followed by its own Centralised Admission Process for PG (CAP-PG) at bhucuetpg.samarth.edu.in. The BHU PET 2027 application process is expected to open around May–June 2027 after CUET PG 2027 results are declared — official dates for the 2027 cycle have not yet been announced. The BHU CAP-PG registration fee is ₹300 for General/OBC/EWS and ₹150 for SC/ST/PwD per course.

What is BHU PET Application Form 2027?

BHU PET (Banaras Hindu University Postgraduate Entrance Test) is the name for BHU’s PG admission process. Since 2022, BHU discontinued its own written entrance test and now selects students based on CUET PG scores (Common University Entrance Test — Postgraduate, conducted by NTA) followed by its own Centralised Admission Process for PG (CAP-PG). To secure PG admission at BHU in 2027, you will need to complete two sequential steps: first register and appear for CUET PG 2027 on NTA’s portal, then register for BHU CAP-PG 2027 on BHU’s portal using your CUET PG score.

BHU offers PG programmes across Arts, Science, Commerce, Law, Education, Social Science, Performing Arts, Fine Arts, and Management. CAP-PG 2027 registration will open on bhucuetpg.samarth.edu.in after CUET PG 2027 results are declared. Official dates for the 2027 cycle will be notified on the BHU admission portal — no schedule has been released as of September 2026.

Note: The standalone BHU PET written exam was discontinued after 2021. From 2022 onwards, BHU PG admission is based on CUET PG scores — you must appear in CUET PG 2027 (NTA) before you can register for BHU CAP-PG 2027.

BHU PET Registration Trends — Last 5 Years

BHU does not publish separate consolidated CAP-PG registration statistics. Overall CUET PG registrations across all central universities (via NTA) have grown steadily since 2022 — from approximately 2.5 lakh in 2023 to over 3.5 lakh by 2025 — reflecting growing adoption of the centralised PG entrance framework. BHU, as one of the largest and most sought-after participating institutions, typically sees high demand across Science, Arts, and Social Science programmes. Exact BHU-specific figures for 2027 will depend on CUET PG 2027 participation and BHU seat intake for that cycle.
