Step-by-Step Admission Guide: How to Apply to Anna Leela College
Securing a seat at Anna Leela College involves a two-step application process that can be confusing for first-timers. You cannot apply to the college directly without first registering with the University of Mumbai.
Follow this exact roadmap to ensure your application is accepted.
⚠️ The “Golden Rule” of Mumbai Admissions
You must fill out TWO forms:
- University of Mumbai Pre-Admission Form (Mandatory for eligibility).
- Anna Leela College Online Application Form (Mandatory for the specific college).
If you skip either, your admission will be invalid.
Phase 1: University Pre-Enrollment (Starts May 2026)
Before you touch the college form, you must register with the University.
Step 1: Create Your Profile
- Website: Go to the Mumbai University Admissions Portal (typically mum.digitaluniversity.ac or the new muugadmission.samarth.edu.in).
- Action: Click on “Register” and enter your Name (exactly as it appears on your 12th Marksheet), Mobile Number, and Email ID.
Step 2: Generate the MKCL Number
- Fill in your personal details, address, and 12th-grade marks.
- Select Course: Choose your desired course (e.g., B.Com, BMS, BAF, B.Sc. IT).
- Select College: Search for “Anna Leela College of Commerce and Economics” (Code: 1054 or search by ‘Kurla’).
- Submit: Once you select the college and course, the system will generate a University Pre-Enrollment Form.
- Save PDF: Download and print this form. You will need the Application/Form Number from this PDF for the next phase.
Phase 2: College Application (The Bunts Sangha Portal)
Once you have the University Form, you apply directly to the college.
Step 3: Visit the College Portal
- Website: Go to the official college site: https://alsj.bunts.edu.in/.
- Navigate to the “Admissions” tab and click on “Apply Online”.
Step 4: Fill the College Form
- Register: Use the same mobile number you used for the University form.
- Link Forms: You will be asked for the University Application Number (from Phase 1). Enter it here to link your profiles.
- Upload Documents: Scan and upload clear copies of:
- Passport-size photo (White background).
- Signature.
- HSC (12th) Marksheet (or digital copy if original isn’t out).
- SSC (10th) Marksheet.
- Leaving Certificate (LC).
- Caste Certificate (if applying under quota).
- University Pre-Enrollment Form (The PDF from Phase 1).
Step 5: Pay the Form Fee
- Pay the nominal application form fee (approx. ₹100–₹500) online via UPI, Credit Card, or Net Banking.
- Save Receipt: Download the payment receipt and the final College Application Form.
Phase 3: Merit Lists & Verification (June–July 2026)
Step 6: Check Merit Lists
The college typically releases three Merit Lists.
- In-House Quota: If you completed your 12th from Bunts Sangha’s Arathi Shashikiran Shetty Junior College, you might get priority in the first list or a separate “In-House” list.
- Open Merit: For students from other colleges. Check the college notice board or website on the announced dates.
Step 7: Document Verification (Offline)
If your name appears in a Merit List:
- Go to the college campus in Kurla (East) typically between 10:00 AM and 3:00 PM next day.
- Carry Original Documents + 2 sets of photocopies.
- Required Set:
- Printed University Pre-enrollment Form.
- Printed College Application Form.
- Original 12th Marksheet & Leaving Certificate.
- Aadhar Card copy.
- Minority Certificate (if applying under Linguistic Minority – Tulu/Kannada).
Step 8: Final Fee Payment
- Once documents are verified by the faculty, you will be given a “Fee Payment Link” or a challan.
- Pay the full year’s fees (approx. ₹18k–₹30k depending on the course) to confirm your seat.
📋 Essential Documents Checklist
Keep these ready in a folder before admissions start:
- [ ] Aadhar Card (Updated with correct mobile number).
- [ ] 10th & 12th Marksheets (Original + 5 Copies).
- [ ] Leaving Certificate (Original + 5 Copies).
- [ ] Passport Size Photos (5 copies).
- [ ] Migration Certificate (Only if you are from a board other than Maharashtra State Board, e.g., CBSE/ICSE).
- [ ] Gap Certificate (Affidavit on ₹100 stamp paper if you took a gap year).
💡 Pro-Tip for Higher Chances
Apply for Multiple Courses: If you are aiming for BMS (which has high cutoffs), it is smart to also fill a separate form for B.Com or BAF at the same college as a backup. You will need to generate a separate University Pre-enrollment form for each course.
