Guru Jambheshwar University, Moradabad (GJUM) — not to be confused with the older, similarly-named Guru Jambheshwar University of Science and Technology in Hisar, Haryana — uses the Samarth eGov platform to manage its admission process. Here’s a complete guide to navigating this portal.
Which University This Portal Belongs To
GJUM is a relatively newer university based in Moradabad, Uttar Pradesh, encompassing over 350 affiliated colleges spread across Moradabad, Amroha, Bijnor, Rampur, and Sambhal districts. Its Samarth-based admission portal is typically accessed through gjumadm.samarth.edu.in, following the standard {institute_short_code}.samarth.edu.in naming convention used across the Samarth eGov network. Prospective applicants should specifically look for GJUM’s official website, gjum.ac.in, and navigate to the admissions portal link from there to avoid confusion with similarly-named institutions.
Registration Process
To begin, applicants visit the general instructions or admissions page linked from gjum.ac.in and proceed to the “New Registration” option on the Samarth portal itself. This requires entering a unique, actively used email ID along with other basic personal details, followed by completing a captcha code and clicking Register. A One-Time Password (OTP) is then sent to the registered email address, which needs to be entered on the portal to verify and complete the registration process.
Logging In After Registration
Once registration is complete, applicants return to the University Samarth Admission Portal’s login page, enter their registered email ID and password, and click Login to access their dashboard. From here, applicants can complete their profile, check payment status, and access quick links including university admission guidelines, FAQs, and public notices.
Programmes Offered Through the Portal
GJUM’s Samarth portal has been used for both undergraduate and postgraduate admission cycles, including PG (Campus) programmes such as MSc, MA, and MCom, as well as its Research Entrance Test (RET) for doctoral admissions. Notices around specific admission windows — such as profile registration and seat locking deadlines for PG programmes — are typically posted directly on the university’s main website alongside the portal link.
Common Issues: Payment Status Not Updating
One of the more commonly reported issues on the GJUM Samarth portal involves payment status not reflecting immediately after a successful transaction. The university’s own guidance is to wait 24 hours, since payment status typically refreshes within this window. If the status still doesn’t appear after 24 hours, applicants are advised to email a screenshot of the payment confirmation, including the transaction ID, to the university’s dedicated Samarth support email address.
Using Aadhaar as ID Proof
For applicants without other readily available identity documents, GJUM’s Samarth portal accepts Aadhaar Card as valid ID proof during registration. When uploading it, applicants simply need to enter their Aadhaar number in the designated “ID Proof No.” field alongside the scanned document upload.
Applying to Multiple Courses
A frequently asked question among applicants is whether a fresh registration is required for each course or college they wish to apply to. The answer is no — a single registration on the GJUM Samarth portal is sufficient to apply to more than one course across more than one affiliated college, provided the applicant meets the specific eligibility criteria for each programme they’re applying to.
How Admission Gets Finalized
After completing registration on the university-level Samarth portal, applicants typically need to take a printout of their completed registration form and visit their chosen affiliated college directly to complete the college-specific application process. Admission is considered final only once the admission fee has been deposited at the college and the seat has been locked by that college within the Samarth system.
Helpdesk and Support
For queries that can’t be resolved through the FAQ or general troubleshooting steps, GJUM provides a dedicated helpline with specified hours (generally weekday mornings to afternoons) for Samarth-related support, alongside a dedicated support email address for documentation or payment-related issues.
Staying Updated Through Official University Channels
Since GJUM is a relatively newer university still expanding its programme offerings and affiliated college network, checking the official gjum.ac.in website regularly for the latest admission notices is particularly important, as new programmes and revised timelines are added more frequently than at more established, long-running universities.
Following the university’s official social media channels alongside the website can also help catch time-sensitive announcements quickly.
A Final Practical Tip
Keeping a saved copy of every confirmation email and screenshot from the portal creates a useful paper trail in case any dispute arises later.
This small habit costs almost nothing but can save real frustration months down the line.
Final Thoughts
gju.samarth.edu.in (accessed via gjumadm.samarth.edu.in) provides Guru Jambheshwar University, Moradabad’s centralized admission infrastructure, covering both PG campus programmes and doctoral research entrance. Registering with an actively monitored email address, keeping payment confirmations handy in case of processing delays, and completing the follow-up college-level application promptly are the key steps toward a smooth admission experience.
