According to the university, only candidates whose applications have been verified and shortlisted by the admission coordinator of the concerned course will be allowed to pay the admission fee. Candidates must complete the fee payment within the deadline mentioned in the admission schedule.

The university stated that failure to pay the admission fee within the stipulated period could lead to cancellation of the allotted seat, which may then be offered to the next eligible candidate.

To streamline the admission process, the university recently held a meeting of undergraduate admission coordinators at Pravesh Bhawan. During the meeting, coordinators were trained on the Allahabad University UG counselling process and admission procedures to be followed through the Samarth admission portal.

Admission updates to be sent via registered contacts

The University of Allahabad also advised candidates to keep their registered email address and mobile number active, as all official communication related to application verification, counselling, document verification and fee payment will be sent through these registered contact details.
