PPU extends deadline for UG online application

Patna: In a major relief to aspiring undergraduate students, Patliputra University (PPU) has extended the deadline for online applications for admission to Degree Part-I undergraduate (UG) courses under the four-year choice based credit system (CBCS) programme.

According to PPU registrar Abu Bakar, the last date for submitting online applications was earlier fixed as May 31. However, the university administration has now decided to extend the deadline till June 6 to provide another opportunity to students who have not yet completed the admission process, he said, adding the response to the admission drive has been highly encouraging as nearly 75,000 students have submitted their applications for admission to various undergraduate courses so far.

PPU offers around 1.25 lakh seats in regular degree programmes across the arts, science and commerce streams in both constituent and affiliated colleges. In addition, the university will admit students to newly-established 16 degree colleges at block-level during the current academic session 2026-27, Bakar said, adding the number of colleges participating in the admission process has thus increased further.

According to the registrar, the admission process is being carried out online and students have been advised to complete their applications well before the revised deadline to avoid last-minute technical difficulties. He said interested candidates can apply online through the university portal www.ppup.ac.in or directly through the www.ppupadm.samrath.edu.in portal.
