Commonly asked questions
On Admissions
Q:   Is CUET exam registration open?
A: 

Yes, Common University Entrance Test (CUET) 2026 registration commenced at cuet.nta.nic.in. NTA released the CUET 2026 notification on January 03 and reopened the window on February 23. Soon after the release of the CUET official notification, the CUET registration 2026 process commenced online at the official website. Candidates willing to appear for the CUET 2026 exam must have completed complete the application form online. Additionally, before filling application form, candidates must make sure that they have fulfilled the prescribed CUET eligibility criteria to qualify for the entrance exam.

Q:   Can I get direct admission to BA at Visva Bharati University?
A: 

The admission to BA courses at Vidya Bharati University is primarily based on CUET scores. Also, candidates who are willing to secure a seat in the BA course must complete their Class 12 with decent scores. However, a CUET-UG score is not required for some BA specialisations available at VBU. For taking admission without CUET UG scores, candidates should have secured good scores in Class 12 so, they can be selected in the merit list. Therefore, candidates are not allowed to get direct admission to BA courses, they either have to get selected in the merit list or score well in the CUET UG entrance examination.

The NEST 2026 application form has been released on January 5. The last date is April 6. The application process is completely online. The application correction facility will be provided from April 13 to April 14.

B.Sc. (Hons.) in Mathematics - Batch of 2024
3.8
3Placements4Infrastructure4Faculty5Crowd & Campus Life3Value for Money
There is pressure for classes and semesters, but hostel management and campus environment are good.
Placements: Basically, we got admission in the Mathematics department of Viva Bharati University in 2021, during the lockdown because of the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic, because I was an internal candidate, I got admission based on my H.S. marks. In our batch, there are 40 students in the UG section. We have to pay Rs 6500/- (for SC candidates) for admission. We received a scholarship (SVMCM) of Rs 18000/- for scoring 80% in HS and 60% in semesters. After passing out, a few of our batchmates got admission in IIT & NIT for a Master's degree by the JAM entrance examination. Because of their mathematical background, many students got jobs easily.
Infrastructure: Classrooms are good, well-maintained, and clean. There are different libraries for different bhavans and a central library that is also well maintained. Here, all students get free medical facilities. Hostels (some restrictions for girls, but no restrictions for boys), labs, and canteens (cheap & healthy food provided) are also good.
Faculty: Teachers are very good. If there are any difficulties in understanding any topic in class, we can go to the teacher's room, and they will personally teach us and solve our problems. Semester exams are tough, as well as in other universities. But the classes are regular, and our attendance is checked properly.

Good faculty and infrastructure.
Placements: If we talk about foreign languages, then after becoming fluent in a language, one can easily get opportunities in any multinational company. In the field of Hindi, one option is to become a teacher of this subject, and apart from that, becoming a professor is also a good career choice.
Infrastructure: The entire university campus has free Wi-Fi facilities. Talking about the library, many departments have their own libraries, and apart from that, there is a central library where we can easily access lac of books. The seating arrangements are also quite good. Viva-Bharati has around 30 hostels in total. The hostel facilities are average. Some hostels are in very good condition. For medical needs, there is a hospital called PM Hospital, where students receive free treatment.The campus is very large (spread over about 1,100 acres). There are so many trees here that it feels as if we have entered the lap of nature. The atmosphere here is completely peaceful.
Faculty: The faculty here is quite good. Speaking of teachers and backgrounds, they have completed their degrees from prestigious universities in the country. Their teaching methods are easy to understand, and the behavior of all the teachers is also good. Semester exams get delayed sometimes because admissions through the queue take time. The passing percentage in some departments is very good, but overall, the passing percentage is found to be a bit low.
Other: I already had an interest in Hindi, which is why I chose this subject. The history of this department has been very unique. Many great writers have served as teachers in Hindi Bhawan, such as Hazari Prasad Dwivedi. Apart from him, many renowned poets and writers used to visit here. Viva-Bharati was declared a World Heritage Site in 2023.

M.Sc. in Botany - Batch of 2024

Overall, best university for M.Sc. in botany course.
Placements: Most of the students got jobs in top multi-national companies. Last year, the highest salary offered was around 23 LPA by Microsoft. The average number was also high. Top recruiting companies were NCBS, CMFRI, IISc, etc. Many students were offered full-time jobs and work in a variety of supporting roles. Top jobs were botanist, plant taxonomist, and so on.
Infrastructure: Facilities at our college were quite excellent. Every branch consisted of blocks, and each block included either lift 1 or 2. We additionally maintain distinct areas for sports, library, and canteen. College campus lacks hotels, but there were 3 hotel locations within 5 KM. I prefer staying at private hotels since they offer larger and higher quality rooms.
Faculty: Faculty members were highly experienced. Most of them completed their PhDs. They were friendly while teaching and clarifying doubts. College was self-contained, so semester exam correction was done at the college itself. The hard paper was moderate. The pass percentage was always high. The pass rate was over 50%.

I am absolutely dissatisfied with this university.
Placements: 18% of students get placed in my course. The highest package is 3 LPA, and the lowest package is 2 LPA. The average package is 1.5 LPA in my course. The top recruiting companies of my course are the State Bank of India, non-government organisation, etc.
Infrastructure: Facilities and infrastructure available in my course are free Wi-Fi, a library, and classrooms. The quality and the facilities of my hostel are below average. The quality of food available in the mess is not very good for health. The university has Person Memorial Hospital.
Faculty: Teachers are helpful, qualified, and knowledgeable. The teaching quality of teachers is good. The course curriculum is relevant, but it does not make students industry-ready. Semester exams are difficult because the professor does not complete the syllabus on time.
Other: I chose this course because in the future it helps me to get a social work. The best thing about my course is international economics.

B.A. (Hons.) in History - Batch of 2025

3Placements4Infrastructure5Faculty5Crowd & Campus Life5Value for Money
I am absolutely satisfied with its academic curriculum and cultural aspects.
Placements: Honestly, there are no placement offers for history students at the undergraduate level. But in other departments like Economics and Languages, there are placement chances with fair packages. As far as I know about my course, which is History Honors, there's no official campus placement. Obviously, students can go out and search for internships and jobs, but at the college level, there are no provisions for placement in the History department.
Infrastructure: The classrooms at Viva Bharati University are properly air-conditioned, with good lighting and sound facilities. Classroom infrastructure and basic furniture are good. There are numerous libraries in this university, but our central library is of top-notch quality. There are a huge number of books and other facilities such as an air-conditioned reading room and a journal section with fast-speed free Wi-Fi. Viva Bharati University provides hostel facilities to both boys and girls, and there are numerous hostels on our campus, but to be very honest, boys' hostels are okay.
Faculty: The professors at Viva Bharati University are very humble and learned. We call them Dadra (elder brother for male professors) and Didi (elder sister for female faculty members). Obviously, they are good at teaching, and of course, very humble, welcoming, and generous in other aspects. Our courses are relevant for further studies/academia, especially if someone is preparing for NET JRF or other teaching exams, or even All India Service exams. I never found my semester exams difficult. Viva Bharati professors are good at making questions (conceptual). Anyone who has kept their eyes open can solve their questions with no struggle, marking is strict.
Other: I'm currently pursuing my B.A. History (Hons.) and this is my last year (CBCS pattern). There are 2 things best about this course, 1st is the syllabus design and 2nd the professors. The history department lacks faculty strength (in numbers). Viva Bharati should recruit a professor. There are several cultural fests and melas organized on our campus that have a blend of local culture and global reach. (Posh Mela and others).

Shade of history department of Viva Bharati.
Placements: There is no placement in courses like history. But pass-out students have good careers in other fields also. In previous years, companies provided internships. Few like Wipro, etc. You can prefer this college as it is good in academics. The rest depends upon how you adapt to this college.
Infrastructure: There is free Wi-Fi throughout the campus. The university has a library and air conditioners. Classrooms are quite good with ACs and smart rooms. The university provides one of the cheapest hostels in the overall India. There is a PM Hospital for free medical care for students. Every department has a canteen. But not too good.
Faculty: Teachers are well-qualified. The history department has NAAC+ credit. Professors are very helpful. The teaching quality is too good. The curriculum is based on NEP. Semester exams are quite difficult. You have to acquire 40% to pass in examination and at least 75% attendance to sit in the exam.
Other: I chose this college for honors in history. I wish there were some fieldwork. Regarding the study, the university is very cultural-centric. There are no promotions for Western events. We have good scholarships.

A: 
Hello Candidate, Usually the cut off lies above 85% for general candidates, will land you into a fair chamce to join into your bachelors. But since 2020, due to covid scenerio, there has been a lot of students who scored high percentage of marks. So , in my opinion, the cut off might rise. Cut off also depends upon the number of seats available for a particular subject. So it may vary w.r.t. that also. Conclusion : According to me, it could be around 90% for subjects withs less number of seats. And it may be around 85% for subjects with comparatively higher seats. Good luck.
