Admissions to Aligarh Muslim University (AMU), Aligarh, for the 2026-2027 academic session are well advanced as of June 2026, with the application windows for most UG and PG programmes now closed and results and counselling in progress. Below are the most recent, dated updates that an AMU aspirant needs to track right now.

• Most important deadline (passed): The AMU online application portal opened on 1 February 2026. The AMUEEE (B.Tech) registration without late fee closed on 28 February 2026, with a late-fee window running until 7 March 2026. The broader UG/PG application deadline extended to 5 April 2026, and PG registration closed around 12 April 2026.
• AMUEEE 2026 admit card: Released on 11 April 2026 at amucontrollerexams.com.

• Counselling: AMUEEE B.Tech counselling is set to start in July 2026 in online mode. MBBS/BDS admission at AMU runs through NEET UG 2026 merit (MCC All India Quota plus the university's internal quota).

Takeaway: If you are reading this in June 2026, the application stage at AMU is over for 2026-2027; the live action is results and the upcoming July counselling. Bookmark amucontrollerexams.com and amu.ac.in, keep your application number and date of birth handy, and watch for the merit list of your specific programme. For NEET-based courses (MBBS, BDS, B.Sc Nursing), monitor both MCC and the AMU medical counselling notice. Applicants who missed 2026 should note the calendar above to plan for the 2027 cycle, which typically opens in late January/early February.

Aligarh Muslim University Admission 2026: Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility at Aligarh Muslim University is strictly course-wise: each programme has its own qualifying examination, minimum percentage and accepted entrance test, and AMU enforces these at the document-verification stage before a seat is confirmed. The table below answers the single most common question - "Am I eligible for this AMU course?" - by mapping every major programme to its exact requirement. It matters because applying for a course you do not meet the minimum marks for leads to rejection even after you clear the test. Read each row as: the qualification you must hold, the minimum aggregate you must score in it, and the entrance exam AMU accepts for that programme in 2026.

Takeaway: Two thresholds dominate AMU eligibility - a 50% aggregate for most UG and PG courses, rising to 55% for M.Pharm, PhD and several research programmes. Medical courses (MBBS, BDS, BUMS, B.Sc Nursing) are gated entirely by a valid NEET UG 2026 score, while engineering runs on AMUEEE/JEE Main and the bulk of arts, commerce, science, law and management seats use AMU's own internal entrance test. Confirm your category-relaxed minimum (SC/ST/PwD candidates typically get a 5% relaxation) on the official Guide to Admissions before counselling, and carry original mark sheets to verification.

Course-Wise Admission Status

This section answers "Is the application still open and how many seats does AMU offer for my course?" As of June 2026 the application stage has closed for the 2026-2027 session across UG and PG, and the process has moved to results and counselling. The table maps each major programme to its current application status, indicative seat strength, mode of admission and the accepted exam, so you can see at a glance where AMU stands in the cycle and what comes next for your course. Read "Mode" as how the seat is allotted - entrance-based merit for AMU's own tests, or national counselling for NEET courses.

Takeaway: Every 2026-2027 application window at Aligarh Muslim University is now closed, so the actionable step for current applicants is to monitor result declarations and report for counselling on schedule. The headline seat numbers to remember are 150 MBBS seats at Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College and 50 BDS seats at Dr. Ziauddin Ahmad Dental College, both filled strictly on NEET UG 2026 merit. Candidates who could not apply this year should target the next opening, typically the first week of February 2027.

Application Fees

This section separates the two costs aspirants frequently confuse: the application/entrance fee you pay to AMU when registering, and the much larger annual programme (tuition) fee you pay after admission. The table lists the application fee category by category, because applicants always ask "Do I pay less as an OBC/SC/ST candidate?" For AMUEEE and the AMU internal entrance test in 2026, AMU levies a flat application fee that does not vary by category, so each category row carries the same verified amount; where a separately notified category concession could not be confirmed, the row says so rather than guessing. Read the "Year" column to see that the 2026 fee held steady from 2025.

Takeaway: Budget roughly ₹700-₹800 for an AMU application fee in 2026, plus ₹300 extra only if you used the AMUEEE late window after 28 February 2026. Keep the entrance fee mentally separate from tuition, which is dramatically higher: the annual/programme fee runs to about ₹2,39,000 for MBBS, ₹1,02,000 for B.Tech, ₹1,20,000 for B.Sc Nursing, ₹76,000 for BA LLB and ₹5,82,000 for MDS. For NEET courses, remember you pay NTA for the exam and AMU separately at counselling. Always pay through the official portal to avoid fraudulent links.

Entrance Exam Requirements

Aligarh Muslim University accepts a different entrance exam depending on the faculty, and this section answers "Which exam do I actually need and what score makes me competitive at AMU?" Engineering runs on AMUEEE (with JEE Main also accepted), medical and nursing on NEET UG, postgraduate medicine on NEET PG/MDS, and the large arts, science, commerce, law and management base on AMU's own internal entrance test. The table below pairs each exam with the programmes it feeds, the verified 2026 exam date, and a realistic qualifying benchmark for AMU specifically. Read "Typical Qualifying Score" as the competitive band based on recent admitted candidates, not the bare pass mark.

Takeaway: For the most sought-after seats, aim high: NEET UG aspirants targeting AMU MBBS should be looking at roughly 650 marks or better in the General category, while AMUEEE candidates need a top merit rank because B.Tech branches fill fast. AMU's internal test rewards thorough preparation in your subject domain, and law aspirants must note the dedicated BA LLB paper held on 26 April 2026. Always cross-check the NTA/NBE official date for NEET and JEE Main, since AMU only uses those scores and does not set those exam dates itself.

Cutoff Analysis (2024-2026)

This is the data most aspirants come for: "What closing rank do I need to get into AMU?" The table presents the verified NEET UG closing ranks for AMU's MBBS and BDS seats by quota and year, so you can gauge exactly how competitive each course is and how the bar has moved. AMU medical seats fall into two pools - the 15% All India Quota routed through MCC, and the university's internal quota for candidates schooled at AMU - which explains the two distinct rank bands you see for the same year. Read a lower number as a tougher cutoff: a closing rank of 3,304 is far more competitive than 12,951.

Takeaway: The trend at Aligarh Muslim University is one of intensifying competition, especially for MBBS through the All India Quota, where the General closing rank sat at 3,304 in 2024 and held in a similar tough band into 2025 and 2026. The internal quota offers a comparatively softer entry (closing around 12,951 in 2024), which is why candidates schooled at AMU have a meaningful advantage. BDS closing ranks are much more relaxed - 29,688 (AIQ) and 46,896 (internal) in 2024 - but have also crept tighter year on year. Aim for a NEET 2026 score 5-10 marks above the last admitted rank in your category for a safe seat.

Counselling Process

The path from a cleared exam to a confirmed seat at Aligarh Muslim University follows a defined, programme-specific sequence. For AMUEEE B.Tech and the AMU internal-test courses, AMU runs its own online counselling starting July 2026; for MBBS, BDS and B.Sc Nursing, admission flows through NEET UG counselling (MCC All India Quota plus AMU's internal/institutional counselling). Follow these steps in order:

1. Result and merit list: Check your AMUEEE/AMU entrance result (declared June 2026) or NEET UG 2026 result and locate your name and rank on the relevant AMU merit list.
2. Counselling registration: Register on the AMU admission portal (amucontrollerexams.com) when the July 2026 counselling opens; NEET candidates also register on the MCC portal for the All India Quota.
3. Choice filling and locking: Fill your preferred branches/colleges in order of priority and lock the choices before the deadline.
4. Seat allotment: Seats are allotted strictly by merit rank, category and the choices locked; AMU conducts separate counselling rounds for each course.
5. Document verification: Report (online or on-campus) with originals - Class 10 and 12 mark sheets, NEET/AMUEEE scorecard, category certificate, photo ID and recent photographs.
6. Fee payment and confirmation: Pay the admission/tuition fee within the stipulated window to confirm and freeze your seat; missing the payment window forfeits the allotment.
7. Subsequent rounds: Unfilled seats move to later rounds and spot counselling; keep tracking the portal if you are on a waitlist.

Important Dates (2026)

This master calendar consolidates every canonical milestone of the Aligarh Muslim University 2026-2027 admission cycle into one place, so you never miss a step. It answers "What is the full timeline and where are we now?" by listing each event with its verified date and current status as of June 2026. Events with no separately confirmed AMU date are still listed and marked "to be announced" rather than dropped, so the picture stays complete. Read "Status" to know instantly whether a milestone has passed, is live, or is upcoming.

Takeaway: As of June 2026, the application, exam and answer-key stages are all behind us, and the cycle is centred on result declarations this month and counselling beginning in July 2026. The next two milestones that demand action are your result check and counselling registration - miss the registration window and you lose your seat regardless of rank. NEET-based applicants should simultaneously track MCC dates. Set reminders for the July counselling and keep all original documents scanned and ready in advance.
