How does admission work after the CAHET Masters result?
ABVMU prepares a combined and a category-wise merit list on entrance marks, then allots seats through online counselling in order of merit and your college choices. Ties are broken by Section A marks, then Section B, then Section C, then age (older first).
- You register for counselling with your CAHET Registration ID and password and pay Rs 500 (non-refundable) plus a Rs 5,000 security fee, Rs 5,500 in one payment.
- After allotment you accept (freeze) or decline the seat in your login. Accepting needs a Rs 40,000 seat confirmation fee, which is adjusted against the college tuition fee.
- You then report to the allotted college with original documents, including your bachelor’s degree and marks sheets and a medical fitness certificate.
- In 2026 there was Round 1, a mop-up round and an on-campus special stray round at ABVMU Lucknow for vacant seats.
