Bennett University Opens Applications for Withdrawal Seats 2026; Apply by August 25

Bennett University, a leading private university established by The Times Group, has officially opened its final application window for admission against withdrawal seats across all undergraduate (UG) and postgraduate (PG) courses for the 2026–27 academic year. Aspiring students who wish to secure a seat at the university’s Greater Noida campus must submit their completed online applications by August 25, 2026.

The university announced this special application drive to fill vacant spots left behind after regular counseling rounds. These withdrawal seats become available when previously admitted candidates cancel their enrollment due to admissions in central government universities, state counseling allotments, or personal changes in academic plans. This final admission window offers a golden chance for students who missed previous deadline rounds, were waiting for board re-evaluation results, or wish to transfer to a top-tier private institution.

• B.Tech Programs: Candidates must have passed Class 12 (10+2) with Physics and Mathematics as compulsory subjects from a recognized board, securing at least 55% to 60% aggregate marks. Admission selection is done based on Class 12 merit or scores from JEE Main, SAT, or CUET.

• BBA & BCA Programs: Candidates must have cleared Class 12 with a minimum of 60% marks in aggregate. Evaluation is performed on the basis of the best three subjects’ scores (including English).

• Law Programs (BA LLB / BBA LLB): A minimum of 60% aggregate in Class 12. Valid scores in CLAT or LSAT—India are given weightage, though direct board-merit entries are also considered.

• MBA Program: Applicants must hold a Bachelor’s degree in any discipline with at least 50% marks. Admissions consider valid scores from national entrance tests like CAT, XAT, NMAT, MAT, or CMAT, followed by a Personal Interview (PI) round.

Merit Scholarships and Fee Details

Although these are final-stage withdrawal seats, Bennett University continues to extend its academic merit scholarship policies to deserving candidates on a seat-availability basis. Tuition fee waivers ranging from 10% up to 50% (and higher for top rankers) are automatically calculated based on Class 12 board percentages, JEE Main percentiles, or CAT scores.

The base annual tuition fee for popular courses like B.Tech CSE stands around ₹4.51 Lakhs per year, while hostel accommodation charges (including food, air conditioning, and laundry services) range between ₹1,70,000 for triple sharing and ₹2,25,000 for twin sharing per year. Candidates taking late admission should note that on-campus hostel seats are subject to availability.

Selection and Final Seat Allotment

Because withdrawal seats are limited and filled on a rolling basis, seats will be granted on a strict merit-cum-availability system. The university’s admission committee evaluates incoming applications daily.

Shortlisted candidates will receive a Provisional Offer Letter via their registered email address. To lock in the seat, students will be given a short timeline (usually 3 to 5 days) to pay the initial seat acceptance fee and complete online document verification. University authorities recommend submitting applications well ahead of August 25 to avoid payment failures due to last-minute network traffic.
