Admissions Process
Nicmar University Pune's Project Management program accepts applications through multiple pathways, with JEE Advanced and JEE Main being the primary routes for admission. The university also considers candidates from other recognized entrance exams like BITSAT, VITEEE, and MHT-CET.
Step-by-Step Admission Process
The admission process begins with online registration on the official website. Candidates must fill out a detailed application form, upload required documents, and pay the application fee. After submission, applicants are shortlisted based on their entrance exam scores and qualifying marks in Class 12th.
Shortlisted candidates are invited for document verification at the university campus. During this stage, applicants submit original copies of all certificates, mark sheets, and identity proofs. The university reviews these documents to ensure compliance with eligibility requirements.
Following successful document verification, a merit list is prepared based on entrance exam scores, Class 12th performance, and category-wise reservations. Candidates who meet the minimum cutoff are called for counseling rounds where they select their preferred branches and colleges.
