BHU applies tie-breaking in sequence: first, higher aggregate percentage in Class XII; then higher percentage in the best three/four subjects; and finally, the older candidate is preferred.

Not directly; what matters is that your chosen CUET paper's subjects match your Class 12 subjects, since eligibility is tied to subjects rather than the stream label.

Typically 4 regular rounds, followed by Spot Round(s) if seats remain; exact numbers and dates are announced in the official schedule.
