Conversion of Seats

The unfilled NRI and reserved category seats will be treated as open merit only after the consideration of all eligible candidates for those categories. Candidates are advised to include preferences for such seats during choice filling.

BFUHS has clearly informed all students that it is crucial to adhere strictly to the schedule and also frequently visit the website, bfuhs.ac.in, and the MCC portal, mcc.nic.in. This revised schedule ensures a more streamlined counseling process but includes candidates under minority and reserved quotas.

Candidates can refer to the official notification for further details or contact the university for help.
