Admission Process Overview
The admission process for the engineering program at Manipur International University Imphal is highly competitive and follows a transparent, merit-based selection mechanism. Students must apply through either JEE Advanced or JEE Main, depending on their eligibility and preferences.
The application process begins with registration on the official website of the university. Candidates are required to fill in personal details, educational qualifications, and upload scanned copies of necessary documents such as 10th and 12th mark sheets, photograph, signature, and caste certificate (if applicable).
Once the application form is submitted, candidates must appear for the qualifying examination – either JEE Advanced or JEE Main.
