# LU extends registration deadline for affiliated colleges to Oct 10 2026-10-03T21:31:34+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Lucknow University (LU) has extended the deadline for obtaining the Lucknow University Registration Number (LURN) to 10 October, as affiliated colleges continue admissions for the 2026-27 academic session. The academic session in several colleges has already been delayed by nearly two months. The LURN is mandatory for students seeking admission to LU-affiliated colleges. Manoj Pandey, president of the Lucknow University Affiliated Colleges Teachers’ Association, said many students approach affiliated colleges after failing to secure admission at the university itself, leaving several seats vacant. LU’s admission process for first-year undergraduate and postgraduate courses continued until August. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The extension pushes the start of the academic session further into October for colleges that still have vacant seats. Students who failed to get into LU now have an extra window, but the delay means a shorter teaching term for late entrants. The new deadline of 10 October sets a clear final date for enrolment across affiliated colleges. ## Coverage - timesofindia.indiatimes.com Straight factual report of the deadline extension with no evaluative language.
