Admission Process Overview
The admission process for the Computer Science program at Nayanta University Pune is designed to ensure fair selection based on merit and aptitude. The primary mode of admission is through JEE Advanced or JEE Main, depending on the category and preferences of applicants.
Applicants must first fill out an online application form available on the university website. The form requires personal details, academic information, qualifying examination scores, and preferences for different categories. Once submitted, candidates receive a confirmation email with their unique application number.
