3. Admission Information

BAMU has two important admission ecosystems:

A. University Departments

Students can apply directly to programmes offered through BAMU’s University Departments, sub-campus, conducted colleges and institutions.

The University currently provides UG/PG admission information for the 2026–27 academic year on its official website.

B. Affiliated Colleges

BAMU also has a large network of affiliated colleges. Admission to courses offered by affiliated colleges follows the applicable State CET/CAP process, University rules or college-specific admission process, depending on the programme.

Important Admission Katta Rule

Do not show one common admission process for all BAMU courses.

For example:

Engineering → CET/CAP as applicable

MBA/MCA → Applicable CET/CAP or University process

University PG Departments → University admission process

Ph.D. → University doctoral admission process

This distinction will make the BAMU page much more accurate.

4. Undergraduate Programmes

BAMU’s academic ecosystem covers undergraduate education through its University departments as well as its affiliated colleges.

Areas of Undergraduate Study

Depending on the institution and programme, students can pursue undergraduate education in areas such as:

• Arts
• Commerce
• Science
• Computer Applications
• Management
• Education
• Performing Arts
• Technology
• Law
• Other professional and interdisciplinary fields

The University’s current academic portal lists departments and programmes spanning Science & Technology, Humanities, Management, Education, Performing Arts and other areas.

Important Database Distinction

For Admission Katta:

BAMU University Department course ≠ BAMU affiliated college course

A student searching for BAMU B.A. may actually be looking for a programme at an affiliated college rather than a course conducted directly by the University.

We should therefore maintain these relationships separately in the database.

---

5. Postgraduate Programmes

BAMU has a strong postgraduate education system through its University departments and affiliated institutions.

Major PG Areas

• M.A.
• M.Com.
• M.Sc.
• MCA
• MBA
• M.Ed.
• LL.M.
• Master of Performing Arts
• Technology-related postgraduate programmes
• Other specialised postgraduate programmes

The University’s current 2026–27 admission information provides PG admission details for University departments, while individual department pages publish their own programmes, eligibility and intake information.

Examples

Department of English

Offers M.A. English, with the current department page listing a 70-student intake and two-year duration.

Department of Education

Offers M.Ed., with the department page listing a two-year programme and 50-student intake.

Department of Management Science

Offers programmes including:

• MBA
• MCA
• BCA-Honors
• Executive MBA
• PGDHAM

Admission Katta Recommendation

For BAMU, don’t try to put every course on the main university page.

Instead:

BAMU → Department → Programme

This will eventually create a much stronger database.
