Notice for admission to Bachelor's Degree Programs will be published in some of the national daily newspapers and TV channels. Foreign candidates can also apply for admission through the online application system. Detailed instruction for foreign students is available here.
For undergraduate studies, the Faculty of Architecture & Planning referred to as ARCH. PROGRAM and Faculty of Engineering referred to as ENGG. PROGRAM(S). The ARCH. PROGRAM includes Architecture (ARCH). The ENGG . PROGRAM(S) includes different programs namely Civil Engineering (CE), Computer Science & Engineering (CSE), Electrical & Electronic Engineering (EEE), Textile Engineering (TE), Industrial & Production Engineering (IPE) and Mechanical Engineering (ME).
- Applicants from Category 1 with an option for ENGG.(only) have to sit for a Common Admission Test (Mathematics + Physics + Chemistry + English) for 1 hour and 45 Minutes.
- Applicants from Category 1 with an option for ENGG.+ARCH. and Category 2 (ARCH.) have to sit for an additional 1 Hour and 30 Minutes ‘Drawing Test’ after appearing in the Common Admission Test (Mathematics + Physics + Chemistry + English)
- Applicants from Category 3: BBA Program have to sit for Admission Test (English + General Mathematics + Information and Communication Technology) for 1 hour and 45 Minutes , starting at the same time as Engineering Common Test.
- In each Faculty, there are three groups of students namely General (GL), Freedom Fighter Quota (FF) and Remote and Undeveloped Area Quota (RA). Howerver, Quota distribution will be decided as per government directives.
- Only shortlisted Candidates will be allowed to sit for the Admission Test.
