Aspiring students seeking admission to undergraduate programs at Allahabad University (AU) and its constituent colleges for the academic session 2025-26 have a crucial window ahead. Registration for admissions to 16 undergraduate courses under the Common University Entrance Test (CUET-UG) 2025 will commence on June 30, 2025. The registration deadline is set for July 15, 2025, providing prospective students with a limited timeframe to complete their applications via the Samarth portal.

This announcement by Allahabad University marks a vital step in the admission cycle, streamlining the application process through a centralized online platform. The entire admission and counseling procedure will be conducted in two distinct phases, ensuring a structured and efficient system for thousands of applicants.

Phase 1: Registration and Profile Update (June 30 – July 15, 2025)

The first phase of the admission process, focusing on registration and profile updates, will run from June 30th to July 15th, 2025. During this period, all eligible candidates who have appeared for the CUET-UG 2025 examination must register on the Samarth portal. It is imperative that applicants meticulously fill in all required entries on the portal to avoid any discrepancies.

Candidates will need to upload several essential documents during this registration phase:

• CUET-UG 2025 Admit Card: Proof of participation in the entrance examination.
• Class 10th Marksheet and Certificate: For verification of date of birth and basic academic qualifications.
• Class 12th Marksheet and Certificate: Essential for confirming eligibility and academic performance.
• Photograph and Signature: Recent passport-sized photograph and scanned signature as per specifications.
• Caste Certificate (if applicable): Candidates seeking reservations under EWS/OBC/SC-ST categories must upload a recent and valid caste certificate. This is crucial for availing reservation benefits during the admission process.

The university’s admission cell has emphasized the importance of accurate data entry during this phase. Only those candidates who have appeared in CUET-UG will be eligible to register for admission to Allahabad University.

Phase 2: Selection and Registration Fee Payment (Post CUET Results)

The second phase of the admission process will only begin after the declaration of the CUET-UG 2025 results. In this phase, candidates will be able to select their preferred courses on the Samarth portal, and the registration fee payment will be processed.

According to Professor J.K. Pati, a representative from the admission cell, once the CUET results are out, applicants will gain access to select their desired undergraduate programs on the portal. A non-refundable registration fee of ₹300 has been set for each course selected by the applicant. However, a reduced fee of ₹150 has been stipulated for candidates belonging to the SC, ST, and PwD (Persons with Disabilities) categories. This differential fee structure aims to make the application process more accessible to disadvantaged groups.

The merit list and subsequent counseling rounds will be based on the CUET-UG scores and the preferences indicated by the registered candidates. Allahabad University’s comprehensive admission process ensures transparency and merit-based selection.

Earlier Registration Start for AU UG Admissions 2025

This year, the registration process for undergraduate admissions at Allahabad University is commencing six days earlier than the previous academic session (2024-25), when registrations began on July 6th. This earlier start indicates an effort by the university to streamline the admission timeline and potentially finalize admissions more efficiently.

In the previous academic session, over 40,000 candidates had registered for various undergraduate courses at Allahabad University and its constituent colleges. With the growing popularity of CUET-UG and the esteemed reputation of Allahabad University, a similar or even higher number of applications are anticipated for the 2025-26 academic year.
