Admission Process Overview
The admission process for the Software Engineering program at SSSUTMS is designed to identify academically strong and motivated candidates who are prepared for rigorous coursework. The process involves multiple stages, from initial application submission to final seat acceptance.
Candidates can apply through either JEE Advanced or JEE Main, depending on their eligibility and preference. For those appearing in JEE Advanced, the application window typically opens in January and closes in February. Similarly, candidates applying through JEE Main must register during the official period announced by the National Testing Agency (NTA).
After qualifying for either examination, applicants must complete the online application process on the official website of SSSUTMS. The application form requires personal details, academic history, qualifying exam scores, and category identification. Candidates must upload scanned copies of required documents such as identity proof, photograph, signature, and mark sheets.
Following document verification, candidates undergo a merit ranking based on their performance in the qualifying examination. The merit list is prepared using the standard formula prescribed by the university and published on the official website. Shortlisted candidates are invited for counseling sessions where they can choose their preferred branch and seat allocation.
