Candidates can pay the tuition fee online only after the college verifies their eligibility. Colleges handle this step through admission.bfuhsonline.ac.in/CounsellingVerifications. Verified candidates can then pay the fee through the portal.
Allotment letters will be published at bfuhs.smartpad.in. Candidates must download the letter after the result is declared and carry it during reporting at the allotted college.
