CUET BHU Eligibility Criteria 2024, Age Limit And Qualification

Benaras Hindu University, or BHU, is a highly-regarded university in Uttar Pradesh. Ranked 5th by the NIRF, lakhs of students apply yearly, vying for just 13,000 seats. Up until two years ago, different courses under the ambit of BHU held different entrance exams. It was a complicated process involving students having to score very high on their 12th boards and do well in the entrance. Those applying to multiple courses had to take numerous entrance exams, making it a very tiring ordeal. With the introduction of the CUET exam for UG courses, the NTA has sought to standardise the admission process and make seats in the country’s top government colleges more accessible. However, it’s vital for students to keep track of the CUET BHU eligibility criteria for 2024. BHU mandates certain subject combinations and minimum qualification marks for all its courses.

If you pick the wrong combinations, even with good marks in CUET, you will be denied admission. Keeping that in mind, we’ve compiled a list of all the pertinent CUET BHU eligibility criteria for 2024, enumerating the subjects required, the marks, and the educational background.

What is the BHU eligibility criteria for CUET 2024?

The eligibility criteria for BHU is divided into four categories:

1. Age limit
2. Educational qualifications
3. Minimum qualifying marks
4. CUET subject combinations

Failing to comply with even one of the qualification standards will render you ineligible for admission.

We’ve compiled the eligibility criteria for the top subjects at BHU for your reference.
