Admission Process
The admission process for the B.Tech Agriculture program at Manav Rachna University Faridabad is rigorous and transparent, designed to ensure that only the most qualified candidates are selected. The program accepts applications through various entrance exams including JEE Advanced, JEE Main, and other state-level examinations.
For students appearing through JEE Advanced, the application window typically opens in December of the previous year. Candidates must register online on the official website and pay the required fees. Once registered, they will receive a unique application number which should be retained for future reference.
After completing the application process, candidates need to appear for the entrance examination, which is usually conducted in May or June. The results are announced shortly after the exam, and candidates are ranked accordingly. Based on these rankings, seats are allocated through a centralized counseling procedure managed by the university.
For those applying through JEE Main, the process is similar with applications accepted between December and January, followed by an online examination in April. The results determine merit lists for different categories, which are then used for seat allocation during counseling sessions.
The final stage involves seat acceptance, where candidates must confirm their admission by paying the required fees within the specified timeframe. Failure to accept the seat within the given period results in loss of eligibility.

After the declaration of results, candidates are invited to participate in a centralized counseling session where they can choose their preferred colleges and courses using the rank obtained in the entrance examination.
Candidates must fill in their choices carefully, considering factors like location, college reputation, and course offerings. The system uses a centralized merit list for seat allocation, ensuring transparency and fairness.
Once seats are allocated, candidates must confirm their admission by paying the required fees within the stipulated time frame. Failure to do so results in the cancellation of the seat and loss of eligibility for future counseling rounds.
