CUSB PG Paid Seat Admission 2026-27 Begins; Apply by September 28

The Central University of South Bihar (CUSB) has announced admission to postgraduate programmes under the paid/payment seat category for the academic year 2026-27. Eligible candidates can apply online through the CUSB admission portal, with the application deadline reported as September 28, 2026. The paid-seat route is intended for postgraduate programmes where seats remain vacant after the regular admission process. Candidates must check the programme-specific eligibility conditions, fee structure and document requirements before submitting their applications. CUSB's official 2026-27 PG admission section separately provides the regular admission notification, programme-wise eligibility, CUET (PG) question-paper codes, fee information, document requirements and undertaking.

CUSB PG Paid Seat Admission 2026-27: Key Details

Candidates should check the official paid-seat notification for the programme-wise vacancy position, eligibility, fee and admission conditions before applying.

What Are CUSB Paid/Payment Seats?

CUSB conducts a separate admission process for paid/payment seats when seats remain available after the regular admission process, subject to the university's notified rules. The paid-seat process should not be confused with the standard CUET (PG)-based admission route. In the previous admission cycle, CUSB separately notified postgraduate admissions under Supernumerary Paid/Payment Seats and specified programme-wise requirements. For the 2026-27 admission cycle, candidates must follow the conditions stated in the current notification and its annexures.

Which PG Programmes Are Available?

The supplied notification lists postgraduate programs across multiple academic disciplines, including science, humanities, commerce, education, law, pharmacy, and agriculture.

The reported program areas include:

• M.Sc. programs in disciplines such as physics, chemistry, mathematics, statistics, computer science, life science, biotechnology, bioinformatics, environmental science, geology, and geography
• M.A. programs in English, Hindi, History, Economics, Political Science, Sociology, and Psychology
• M.Com.
• M.Ed. and M.P.Ed.
• LLM
• M.Pharm. in Pharmaceutics and Pharmacology
• Agriculture-related postgraduate programs
• Data Science
• Artificial Intelligence
• Social Work
• Journalism and Mass Communication

Important: The final list of programmes available under the paid-seat category should be taken from the 2026-27 paid-seat notification and current vacancy list. The regular CUSB PG programme list should not automatically be treated as the paid-seat list.

Who Is Eligible for CUSB PG Paid Seat Admission?

Eligibility is programme-specific. Candidates must meet the academic qualification and subject requirements prescribed for their chosen postgraduate programme. CUSB's 2026-27 PG admission materials separately publish programme-wise eligibility criteria and relevant CUET (PG) question-paper codes. Candidates should therefore check the applicable annexure before submitting an application. Where a CUET (PG) 2026 score is required, applicants must satisfy the programme-specific score and subject requirements mentioned in the notification. Candidates who did not appear for CUET (PG) 2026 should not assume that they are automatically eligible for every paid-seat programme. They should verify the specific provision in the paid-seat notification.

What Documents Are Required?

Candidates should prepare the documents specified in the applicable notification and annexure.

The documents may include:

• Academic marksheets and certificates
• Graduation documents
• Valid identity proof
• Category certificate, where applicable
• Passport-size photograph
• Other programme-specific certificates
• CUET (PG) 2026 score details, where applicable
• Signed undertaking prescribed by CUSB

The university's regular 2026-27 PG admission page separately provides a document-certificates annexure and undertaking for online registration. Candidates applying under paid seats should use the document list specifically attached to the paid-seat notification.
