BHU Admission Fraud Alert: The university has clarified that all official admission communication is sent through admission.help@bhu.ac.in and admission@bhu.ac.in only.
Banaras Hindu University (BHU) has issued a public notice warning aspirants and students against fake WhatsApp messages claiming to offer admission opportunities. According to the university, such messages also include suspicious online links and URLs, which students are being asked to click.
BHU clarified that all official admission communication is sent only through two email addresses, including admission.help@bhu.ac.in and admission@bhu.ac.in.
