Admission Process Overview
The admission process for the Journalism program at Al Falah University Faridabad is highly competitive and structured to ensure that only the most qualified candidates are selected. The process involves several stages, starting with online application submission and ending with seat acceptance.
Candidates can apply through the official website of Al Falah University Faridabad or directly via the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Advanced website. For those who have appeared in JEE Main, they must also register for JEE Advanced to be eligible for admission to our Journalism program.

The university verifies these documents against the original certificates submitted later.
The final stage is the seat allocation process based on merit rank obtained in JEE Advanced. Candidates who qualify are then allocated seats according to their preferences and availability of seats in the Journalism program.
