Step-by-Step Admission Process

The admission process begins with the release of the official prospectus by the university, which outlines the requirements, procedures, and important dates for application submission. Prospective students must register online through the university's official website or designated portals.

After registration, applicants are required to fill out the detailed application form with accurate personal, academic, and contact information. The form must be submitted along with scanned copies of relevant documents including 12th-grade mark sheets, certificates, identity proof, and category certificates if applicable.

The next stage involves document verification, which is conducted either online or at designated centers. During this phase, all submitted documents are scrutinized for authenticity and completeness. Any discrepancies found may lead to disqualification from the admission process.

Following successful document verification, candidates must appear for the entrance examination, which could be based on JEE Advanced, JEE Main, or an internal university-level test.

During the counseling process, students must confirm their seat acceptance by paying the required fees within the stipulated time frame. The final admission is confirmed upon successful completion of all formalities including fee payment and document verification.
