Who Needs Fresh Registration?

BFUHS clearly states:

Already registered candidates do not need to register again.

Fresh registration is for eligible candidates who are not already registered.

Fresh Application Window

3 September to 5 September 2026

Deadline:

5 September — 5:00 PM

Already Registered? Willingness Is Critical

Candidates intending to participate in Round 2 must submit their:

Willingness for Round 2

Window:

3–7 September 2026

Deadline:

7 September — 5:00 PM

BFUHS states that submission of consent/willingness is mandatory for participation in Round 2.

Applicable security money must also be deposited according to counselling rules.

Fresh Choices Are Mandatory

This is one of the most important rules in the notification.

BFUHS states:

Candidates must submit fresh choices/preferences for Round 2.

Choices submitted during Round 1 will be treated as:

NULL AND VOID

So students must not assume their Round 1 preference list automatically carries forward.

Round 2 Choice Filling

BFUHS schedules online choice submission for:

8–10 September 2026

Deadline:

10 September — 5:00 PM

Candidates can select:

• course
• college
• quota
• category

through the BFUHS counselling portal.

After the deadline, choices are automatically locked and BFUHS says requests for changing them will not be entertained.

Round 2 Candidate Eligibility

BFUHS lists the following groups as eligible:

Group I

Registered candidates who received no Round 1 allotment.

Group II

Candidates whose Round 1 allotment was cancelled during document verification and who remain eligible under the corrected category, subject to vacancy.

Group III

Candidates who joined their Round 1 college and submit YES for Round 2 upgradation.

Group IV

Candidates who were allotted a Round 1 seat but did not join.

Group V

Candidates who resigned online within the permitted timeframe from their Round 1 seat.

Who Is Not Eligible?

BFUHS states that candidates are not eligible if:

• they became ineligible due to inadequate documents under applicable eligibility rules; or
• they have not registered in either Round 1 or Round 2.

Registration & Security Fee

Fresh Application Fee

General Category

₹5,000 + ₹900 GST

SC/BC: ₹5,000

Government + Private Participation

Candidates who already deposited sufficient applicable fee/security may not need to deposit it again as described in the BFUHS notice.

NRI Candidates

The notice provides a separate physical-document process for NRI candidates.

The schedule shows physical submission on:

7 September and 8 September 2026

Candidates should use the separate NRI Eligibility Certificate and Admission Application forms available on the BFUHS website.

Keep the NRI route separate from ordinary State/Private counselling.

Minority Candidates

Candidates applying under Minority Quota must report to the concerned Minority Institution for eligibility verification on:

7 September 2026

This is separate from general Round 2 registration.

Sports Category

Sports-category candidates must submit the prescribed printed application copies, Sports Gradation Certificate and supporting records in person at BFUHS.

Date:

7 September 2026 only

BFUHS warns that failure to submit the required hard copies can result in the candidate not being considered under Sports Category Merit.

Merit List & Objection Process

Provisional Merit List

8 September 2026

Merit List Objection Deadline

9 September — 3:00 PM

Important:

Objections must be submitted through personal appearance at the Admission Branch, BFUHS, Faridkot with supporting documents.

The notice says email objections will not be accepted for this process.

Revised Provisional Merit List

9 September 2026, if required.

Provisional Allotment

Processing

11–12 September

Provisional Seat Allotment Result

12 September 2026

Objections Against Result

Up to:

14 September — 4:00 PM

Revised Provisional Allotment

15 September 2026, if required.

Reporting & Joining

Provisionally selected candidates must:

1. pay the balance fee through the university payment gateway;
2. report to the allotted college;
3. complete joining/admission formalities.

Window:

16–18 September 2026

Deadline:

18 September — 5:00 PM

Round 2 Exit / Security Risk

Candidates need to understand the financial consequences.

If a Round 2 seat is allotted and the candidate fails to join:

• security deposit may be forfeited;
• the candidate can participate in further rounds subject to the rules;
• fresh registration/security payment may be required for Round 3.

If a candidate joins Round 2 and later resigns during an allowed period, the security deposit is also subject to forfeiture under the published rules.

Important BFUHS Date Discrepancy

The official Round 2 PDF visually prints:

07.08.2026

against:

“Display of Tentative Vacancy Position on University Website.”

This date conflicts with the rest of the September Round 2 sequence.

Hire Guide Education is therefore not silently changing that date.

⚠️ Candidates should wait for BFUHS to publish the vacancy matrix or issue a correction/clarification rather than relying on an inferred date.

Round 2 Choice Strategy

Do not reuse your Round 1 choice list blindly.

Build a fresh preference order using:

2026 Round 1 allotment/cutoff + Round 2 vacancies + Category + Quota + College fee + Minority/NRI eligibility + True preference

For HGE analysis, Government, Private, Minority and NRI seats should remain separate because their eligibility, fee and cutoff behaviour differ significantly.

2. Fresh candidates must register by 5 Sep, 5 PM.

Hire Guide Education Advice

The two biggest student-action points are:

Fresh registration closes 5 September at 5 PM

and

Willingness is mandatory for Round 2 participation.

Most importantly, Round 1 choices do not carry forward. Every participating candidate should create a fresh Round 2 choice list.
