What to do next
Apply only by the route the official notice gives: for most programmes of CUSB that is its admission portal (cusbadm.samarth.edu.in), but a department sometimes takes forms itself, and then the notice says where.
Match yourself to the notice before paying: the qualifying exam and minimum marks, the age limit where one applies, and the route (CUET score, a university test or an interview).
Keep scans ready: photo, signature, marksheets, a category certificate (OBC-NCL and EWS certificates usually have to be of the current financial year) and a photo ID.
After the last date come the merit list or shortlist, then counselling or document verification; each round is a separate notice under CUSB notices.
