MGSU PG admission 2026-27 registration extended: apply by 21 October

Maharaja Ganga Singh University (MGSU), Bikaner, has announced a third extension for the postgraduate (PG) registration deadline for the 2026-27 academic session. The new deadlines, varying by course category, were released today, October 10, 2026, on the official university website at mgsubikaner.ac.in and the admission portal at univindia.net/MGSU/MGSUADM26.

This repeated extension aims to ensure all available seats are filled and to offer an additional opportunity for prospective students who may have missed previous registration windows. The university had previously extended the PG admission deadline to August 31, 2026, with a provisional merit list release on September 2, 2026.

Revised Registration and Merit List Dates

The latest extension provides distinct deadlines for two categories of PG courses. Students applying for Category 1 courses now have until October 11, 2026, to complete their registration. For Category 2 courses, the deadline has been set for October 21, 2026. Following these registration periods, the provisional merit lists for Category 1 and Category 2 courses will be published on October 12, 2026, and October 22, 2026, respectively.

This marks the third time MGSU has extended the PG admission deadlines for the current academic session, indicating an ongoing effort to accommodate applicants and ensure full enrolment across its programmes. The previous extension for on-campus programmes was issued on August 30, 2026.
