Kannur University UG Admission 2026

The UG admission process includes the 3-year FYUGP, the 5-year FYIMP and the integrated 5-year BA LLB. Available programmes include BA, B.Sc, B.Com, BCA, BBA, BSW and BTTM. These courses are allotted through UG CAP.

Kannur University FYUGP Eligibility Criteria

Students who have passed Kerala HSE or VHSE can apply. Qualifications from other recognised boards are accepted as well.

Programme Eligibility Selection Basis
BA / B.Com / BBA / BSW / BTTM Pass in 10+2 from a recognised board in any stream Class 12 merit through CAP
B.Sc (Science programmes) Pass in 10+2 with the relevant science subjects
BCA Pass in 10+2 with Mathematics
BA LLB (5-Year Integrated) Pass in 10+2 in any stream with at least 45% aggregate for General candidates
FYIMP (5-Year Integrated Masters) Pass in 10+2 with the stream required for the chosen programme Class 12 merit through CAP for university departments

Kannur University UG Selection Process

Class 12 scores are used to prepare the UG merit list. CAP then assigns a course and college according to each applicant's rank, reservation category and ordered preferences.

  • A trial allotment only shows a possible result, so students do not pay a fee at that stage.
  • After the trial result, applicants can revise their choices within the defect correction period.
  • The first allotment is compulsory, and payment of the university fee confirms the allotted seat.
  • Anyone without a seat in an earlier round remains eligible for consideration in the later rounds.
  • Reservations for SC, ST, SEBC and EWS applicants follow Government of Kerala rules.

UG admission normally follows the same sequence each year, beginning with registration and a trial result before the regular allotment rounds.


How to Submit a Kannur University UG Application

  1. Open admissions.kannuruniversity.ac.in and choose the FYUGP Admission option.
  2. Select New Registration, then provide an email address, mobile number and captcha code.

Kannur University PG Admission 2026

I choose Kannur university campus because, while pursuing my post graduate degree, i would also have the time to prepare for other exams. Admission to Kannur university campus requires a separate entrance test, through which approximately 16-18 students are selected under the general category and around 10 students from the reserved category . Additionally, there are different stages of allotment. Selected students must also attend an interview , which is relatively easy one.
