Updates as of September 22, 2026
The 2026-27 admission cycle at Guru Nanak Dev University, Amritsar has largely run its course. Online registration opened on 8 May 2026 and the university's entrance test window ran from 22 June to 4 August 2026, as reported by Collegedunia from the university's released admission schedule. The portal now carries the 2026-27 prospectus, admission schedule and course-wise fee structure as downloads.
Collegedunia, admission schedule reportB.Com admission at GNDU is merit based rather than entrance based. The reported eligibility is a pass in 10+2 from a recognised board with a minimum of 50 per cent aggregate, relaxed to 45 per cent for SC and ST candidates. The registration fee is reported as 1,500 rupees for general candidates and 750 rupees for SC candidates with Punjab domicile.
Collegedunia, admission schedule reportA residual vacancy notice is live on the official admissions portal, for a few remaining seats in B.Tech Computer Engineering at a registration fee of 1,500 rupees. It is not a B.Com notice, but it confirms the portal is still being updated with late-round vacancy announcements for the 2026-27 session.
GNDU Admissions portalNo semester datesheet for the December 2026 examinations had been published at the time of checking. The university's datesheet download page offers a 2026 selection and an Under Graduate Semester (Pass Course) category, which is the route B.Com candidates use once the schedule is loaded.
GNDU datesheet portalOn IndCareer's account of past GNDU practice, odd-semester datesheets for the December session are typically released in October or November, and even-semester schedules for the May session in late March or early April. This is an aggregator's characterisation of the university's habit rather than an official commitment, and no confirmed December 2026 date exists.
IndCareer, aggregatorCareers360 lists a separate four-year B.Com Honours pathway alongside the three-year B.Com, and records 25 B.Com Honours offerings across colleges affiliated to GNDU Amritsar, which is why eligibility and fee figures differ between the main campus programme and the affiliated-college route.

The university's own admissions portal publishes a course-wise fee structure document and the 2026-27 prospectus, and those are the authoritative source for tuition, examination and development charges on the main campus. The programme-level figures above come from education portals reporting the released schedule, and the affiliated-college B.Com route can differ from the main campus on both fee and cut-off.

What this means for your preparation
The recurring confusion around GNDU B.Com is that there is not one programme but several routes wearing the same name: the three-year B.Com on the main Amritsar campus, a four-year B.Com Honours pathway, and B.Com offerings at dozens of affiliated colleges. Eligibility, fee and cut-off are read off whichever route the candidate is actually applying to, and quoting figures across routes is the usual source of error.
Check the route before the cut-off
Careers360 records 25 B.Com Honours offerings across colleges affiliated to GNDU Amritsar, separate from the main-campus programme, and lists the Honours pathway as four years against three for the standard B.Com. A candidate comparing cut-offs or fee figures found online is frequently comparing an affiliated college with the main campus, or Honours with the general degree. Before acting on any number, identify which of the three routes it describes. The university's own prospectus and course-wise fee structure on the admissions portal are the correct reference for main-campus figures; affiliated colleges publish their own.
B.Com is a merit route, not an entrance route
The reported selection basis for B.Com is merit from the qualifying examination, with eligibility set at 50 per cent aggregate in 10+2 and 45 per cent for SC and ST candidates. That places B.Com outside the entrance test window that ran from 22 June to 4 August 2026 and which governed programmes such as B.Sc Agriculture, MCA and the law degrees. The practical consequence is that a B.Com applicant's decisive number is fixed before they apply. Preparation effort belongs in securing board marks and in getting the online application and documents filed cleanly, not in entrance coaching.
Watch the portal for residual seats
GNDU issues vacancy notices after the main rounds, as the current B.Tech Computer Engineering notice on the admissions portal shows, with a 1,500 rupee registration fee attached. Candidates who missed the main B.Com rounds for the 2026-27 session should treat the admissions portal as a rolling noticeboard rather than assuming the cycle is shut. These notices appear without much warning and are usually short-dated, so periodic checking of gnduadmissions.org is more effective than waiting for coverage on education portals, which typically report them after the fact.
Know where the datesheet actually appears
The university publishes datesheets through a download interface that requires selecting a year, a month and a programme category. For a B.Com student the relevant category is Under Graduate Semester, in the Pass Course grouping, with the year set to the current session. No December 2026 schedule had been loaded at the time of checking. Because the interface serves PDFs by selection rather than listing everything on one page, students often conclude nothing has been published when in fact they have picked the wrong category. Check the category as carefully as the date.
Treat unofficial datesheet dates with care
GNDU runs a semester system with examinations twice a year, and secondary sites characterise the odd-semester December datesheet as usually appearing in October or November and the even-semester May datesheet in late March or early April. That is a description of past behaviour by an aggregator, not a published commitment, and it should not be used to book travel, accommodation or leave. Examination forms and their late-fee deadlines are notified separately from the datesheet and on their own timetable, so a student who has watched only for the datesheet can still miss the form deadline.
Common questions
Is GNDU B.Com admission still open for 2026-27?
The main 2026-27 cycle has passed. Online registration opened on 8 May 2026 and the university's entrance test window ran to 4 August 2026, according to reporting on the released admission schedule. The admissions portal is still issuing residual vacancy notices for the session, including one currently live for B.Tech Computer Engineering, so a late seat is not impossible. Anyone hoping for one should monitor gnduadmissions.org directly rather than relying on third-party summaries.
What marks do I need in 10+2 for GNDU B.Com?
The reported requirement is a pass in 10+2 from a recognised board with a minimum of 50 per cent aggregate, with a relaxation to 45 per cent for SC and ST candidates. Careers360 similarly gives 50 per cent at 10+2 as the general undergraduate threshold at GNDU. These are eligibility floors rather than cut-offs; because B.Com is filled on merit, the marks needed to actually secure a seat in a given year can be considerably higher than the minimum.
Is there an entrance test for B.Com at GNDU?
On the reported admission schedule, B.Com is a merit-based admission drawn from qualifying examination marks rather than an entrance test. The university's entrance test window from 22 June to 4 August 2026 covered programmes that do test, such as B.Sc Agriculture, B.Tech Textile Processing, MCA and the law degrees, each with its own application deadline and test date. B.Com applicants should confirm this against the current prospectus on the admissions portal before assuming no test applies to their specific route.
How much is the GNDU application fee?
The registration fee reported for the 2026-27 cycle is 1,500 rupees for general candidates and 750 rupees for SC candidates with Punjab domicile. The same 1,500 rupee figure appears on the current B.Tech vacancy notice on the admissions portal. This is the registration charge only. Tuition, examination and development charges are set out separately in the course-wise fee structure document published on gnduadmissions.org, which is the authoritative source for programme costs.
When will the GNDU B.Com December 2026 datesheet come out?
It had not been published when this page was compiled on 22 September 2026. IndCareer, an aggregator rather than the university, describes GNDU as typically releasing odd-semester December datesheets in October or November, and even-semester May datesheets in late March or early April. Treat that as an expectation only. The schedule appears on the university's datesheet download page, where students select the year, month and the Under Graduate Semester Pass Course category.
Where do I download my datesheet and check results?
Datesheets are served through the university's datesheet download interface, which requires selecting year, month and programme category rather than listing schedules on a single page, so a student seeing nothing should first confirm the category selection. Results are published through the university's digital portal. Both are separate from the admissions portal at gnduadmissions.org, which handles the prospectus, admission schedule, fee structure and vacancy notices rather than examination material.
