- Subject Combination: Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics
- Age Limit: Maximum 25 years at the time of admission
The university also considers candidates from other recognized qualifying exams such as UPSEE and state-level engineering entrance tests.
Admission Process
The admission process involves multiple stages to ensure fair and systematic selection:
- Application Submission: Candidates must register online through the university's official portal, providing personal details, academic records, and branch preferences.
- Eligibility Verification: The university verifies the candidate's eligibility based on qualifying exam scores and 12th-grade marks. Required documents include 12th mark sheet, admit card, and category certificate if applicable.
