Cotton University has announced two immediate admission actions for the 2026-27 session. Candidates named in the first PG merit lists must attend offline admission on July 28, 2026, while eligible UG candidates seeking the final FYUGP spot round must submit the printed Samarth form by July 29, 2026 at 2:00 PM and attend the physical round on July 30.
Summary
This consolidated update covers the university’s July 22 PG first-merit-list notice and July 20 UG final spot-admission notice. The two processes have different eligibility and reporting requirements; students should follow only the section that applies to them.
Key highlights
- PG admission for the listed MA, MSc, MCA, MCom, MLISc and LLM applicants is offline on July 28 from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM at KBR Hall.

- UG applicants must fill the Samarth form and submit a printed copy at the university from July 27 at 10:00 AM to July 29 at 2:00 PM.
- UG spot admission is offline at KBR Auditorium on July 30 from 10:00 AM.
- OBC/MOBC UG candidates need a valid NCL certificate; an acknowledgement slip is not accepted.

Who is affected?
The PG instruction applies to candidates appearing in the published first merit lists for the notified MA, MSc, MCA, MCom, MLISc and LLM programmes. The July 28 notice specifically schedules Archaeology, MCom, LLM, EBWS, MLISc, MBBT and MCA at KBR Hall.
The UG instruction applies only to FYUGP aspirants who have not secured admission in any college or institution in previous rounds and want to compete for the subject- and category-wise vacancies published by Cotton University.
Required student action
PG candidates should check the official merit list, collect every original and one self-attested copy set, and report in person or through a parent or guardian during the assigned admission window. UG spot applicants should complete Samarth registration, submit the printed form within the university window and report for offline spot admission on July 30.
Steps for PG merit-list candidates
- Open the official Cotton University admission page and check the correct provisional merit list.
- Review the Cotton University profile and the official admission notice.
- Prepare the signed application printout, qualifying certificate and marksheet, age proof, Aadhaar copy and applicable category or EWS certificate.
- Carry originals and one self-attested hard-copy set to KBR Hall on July 28 during the published time.
- Complete document verification and fee payment if a seat is offered.
Steps for UG final spot admission
- Confirm that you have not been admitted to any college or institution in an earlier round.
- Check the category-wise vacancies in the official UG spot notice.
- Fill the FYUGP form on the official Samarth portal linked from the university admission page.
- Download and print the submitted form.
- Place the printed form in the drop-box on the ground floor of the Cotton University Administrative Building between July 27 at 10:00 AM and July 29 at 2:00 PM.
- Attend the offline spot-admission process at KBR Auditorium on July 30 from 10:00 AM with original documents.
What happens if a deadline is missed?
PG candidates who do not attend the scheduled offline admission risk losing the opportunity attached to the current merit list. UG applicants who do not submit the printed Samarth form by July 29 cannot complete the notified application step for the July 30 final spot round.
