CUET × SAMARTH PORTAL · सीयूईटी समर्थ गाइड
CUET is the entrance ticket; the Samarth portal is where you actually submit your university application. The two are run by different organisations on different domains — and confusion between them is the most common reason CUET applicants miss their target deadlines. This page maps the bridge.
cuet.nta.nic.in is the NTA portal where you take the CUET exam. It does not handle individual university admissions. After you get your CUET score-card, you apply to each university SEPARATELY on its own Samarth subdomain — for example, MGKVP on mgkvpadmission.samarth.edu.in, DU on admission.uod.ac.in, IGNOU on ignouadmission.samarth.edu.in.
One CUET exam → many university Samarth applications. Same score-card PDF uploaded to each.
CUET (UG and PG) is conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA). The official application + admit-card + result portal is cuet.nta.nic.in. Do not pay any third-party site for a CUET application — only NTA is authorised.
Once CUET results are declared, log in to cuet.nta.nic.in and download the PDF score-card. This single document is the entry ticket to every Samarth-based university application that uses CUET scores.
Each university has its own Samarth subdomain — BHU uses bhuonline.in, DU uses admission.uod.ac.in, MGKVP uses mgkvpadmission.samarth.edu.in, etc. The table on this page maps the major ones. For lesser-known universities, our /samarth-portal-guide page has the complete routing table.
Create a new account on the specific university's Samarth subdomain. This is a separate registration from your NTA-CUET account — same email/mobile is fine, but the password and application ID are different.
The Samarth application form asks you to upload your CUET score-card PDF in a designated document slot. The portal extracts your CUET roll number and score automatically. If you applied to multiple universities, you upload the same score-card to each.
CUET is the entrance ticket; each university charges its own application fee separately on the Samarth portal. After payment, lock the application and download the submitted PDF + fee receipt. Counselling notifications come via the same portal.
Each university operates its own Samarth subdomain and decides whether its programmes require CUET scores or admit on merit. Verify directly on the university's official notification PDF before applying — schemes evolve year-over-year.
BHU operates its own admission portal that integrates with NTA-CUET results. Some BHU programmes run on the Samarth platform; others use the legacy bhuonline.in interface.
DU's Common Seat Allocation System (CSAS) runs on Samarth. CUET-UG scores auto-populate; candidates rank colleges + programmes during preference-filling.
JNU's admission portal pulls CUET-PG scores directly. Candidates apply per programme; merit list published on the same portal.
MBA / MCA applicants upload their CUET-PG 2026 score-card during the Samarth application. UG and most M.A./M.Com/M.Sc programmes admit on merit without CUET.
Most VBSPU programmes admit on merit. Some specific PG departments may require CUET-PG; verify per programme on vbspu.ac.in notification.
IGNOU admits most programmes year-round on open eligibility. For its CUET-required programmes (B.Ed, Ph.D, M.Ed), CUET-PG scores feed into the Samarth-platform admission.
40+ central and state universities now run Samarth for CUET-based admissions. Find the right subdomain via the master Samarth platform link, or our /samarth-portal-guide page.
"cuet.samarth.ac.in" — is this still active?
cuet.samarth.ac.in was historically a CUET-related URL during certain admission cycles. The currently-authoritative CUET portal is cuet.nta.nic.in (NTA-operated). For UNIVERSITY-side applications that use CUET scores, use the specific university's Samarth subdomain (e.g., mgkvpadmission.samarth.edu.in for MGKVP).
Do I apply to my chosen university on cuet.nta.nic.in directly?
No. cuet.nta.nic.in is only for the CUET examination itself (application, admit card, result). Each university then runs its own admission process on its Samarth subdomain — that is where you actually apply for a seat, fill college/programme preferences, and pay the university fee.
Same login for CUET and Samarth?
No. Your NTA-CUET account (used to take the exam) is separate from each university's Samarth account. You register fresh on each Samarth subdomain. The connection is via your CUET roll number / score-card PDF, not the login credentials.
Can I apply via Samarth without a CUET score?
It depends on the university and programme. Universities like MGKVP and VBSPU admit most UG and many PG programmes on merit (no CUET needed). For CUET-required programmes (MGKVP MBA/MCA, all DU UG, most central-university programmes), a valid CUET score-card is mandatory at the Samarth-application stage.
BITE's MBA programme runs under the MGKVP MBA intake. CUET-PG 2026 score is required per the MGKVP PG Brochure 2026-27. After uploading your score-card on mgkvpadmission.samarth.edu.in and clearing the cut-off, choose BITE as your preferred MGKVP-affiliated MBA college during counselling. Our team guides Eastern UP candidates through the full Samarth + counselling process end-to-end — at no extra cost.
cuet.nta.nic.in is the National Testing Agency portal where you APPLY for and TAKE the CUET examination (UG or PG). Samarth portals are run by individual universities to handle ADMISSION applications that consume CUET scores. The two are separate: first you take CUET via NTA, then you apply to each university individually via its Samarth subdomain (e.g., mgkvpadmission.samarth.edu.in for MGKVP, admission.uod.ac.in for DU). Your CUET score-card PDF is the document that ties them together.
cuet.samarth.ac.in was historically referenced during certain CUET admission cycles. The current authoritative CUET portal is cuet.nta.nic.in (NTA-operated). For university-side applications that use CUET scores, you use the specific university's Samarth subdomain — not a generic cuet.samarth.ac.in. If you land on cuet.samarth.ac.in via an old search result, verify the current URL on the university's official site.
CUET (UG) and CUET (PG) 2026 results are declared on cuet.nta.nic.in by the National Testing Agency. Once declared, log in with your CUET application number and password, download the PDF score-card. This score-card is the document you upload to every Samarth-based university application thereafter.
CUET (UG) is mandatory for UG admission at all central universities (BHU, DU, JNU, AU Prayagraj, Pondicherry, Visva-Bharati, etc.) and many state/private universities that have opted in. CUET (PG) is required for most PG programmes at central universities and select PG programmes at state universities — for example, MGKVP MBA and MCA require CUET-PG 2026 scores per the official PG Brochure 2026-27.
No. Per the MGKVP PG Admission Brochure 2026-27, only MBA and MCA require CUET (PG) 2026 scores. Most other PG programmes (M.A., M.Com, M.Sc) admit on the basis of UG-degree merit with subject-eligibility checks. Refer to the specific programme rules in the brochure.
Apply separately to each university on its own Samarth subdomain. You register fresh, fill the application, upload the same CUET score-card PDF, and pay each university's application fee. The CUET examination is single — you take it once with NTA — but the university applications are individual: BHU separately, MGKVP separately, etc. Counselling and seat allotment are also per-university.
CUET (UG) is for undergraduate admission — 12+2-pass candidates apply for B.A., B.Sc, B.Com, BBA, BCA, etc. programmes at participating universities. CUET (PG) is for postgraduate admission — UG-degree-holders apply for M.A., M.Sc, M.Com, MBA, MCA, etc. Both are conducted by NTA via cuet.nta.nic.in but with different syllabi, exam patterns, and application windows. CUET-UG typically runs April-May; CUET-PG runs February-March.
CUET scores are valid for the current admission cycle only. If you do not secure a seat in the 2026-27 cycle and want to apply in 2027-28, you must take CUET 2027. The score-card carries the cycle year (2026), and universities only accept the score-card of the cycle in which they are admitting. Plan accordingly — if you are likely to defer admission, retake CUET in the relevant cycle.
Each university publishes its own programme-wise + category-wise cut-off after the application window closes. If your score falls below the cut-off for your preferred programme, you can: (1) apply to other less-competitive programmes at the same university; (2) apply to universities with lower cut-offs (state universities like MGKVP have more flexible thresholds than top central universities); (3) consider non-CUET pathway programmes at state universities that admit on UG-degree merit.
BITE is an MGKVP-affiliated college. For BITE's MBA programme — which is part of the MGKVP MBA intake — CUET-PG 2026 scores are required per the MGKVP PG Brochure. After uploading your CUET-PG score-card on mgkvpadmission.samarth.edu.in and clearing the MGKVP merit cut-off, you can choose BITE as your preferred MGKVP-affiliated MBA college during counselling. BITE's admissions team helps Eastern UP candidates with the full process end-to-end. For non-CUET programmes (B.Ed, BBA, BCA, BCom, BA, BSc, etc.), apply directly via bitevns.ac.in/admissions/apply.
