Admission Process
The admission process for the Engineering program at Shri Khushal Das University Hanumangarh is designed to be transparent, fair, and comprehensive. The process is structured to ensure that students who are academically strong, intellectually curious, and committed to excellence are selected for admission.
Admission to the program is primarily based on performance in the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Main or JEE Advanced, depending on the specific category of admission. The university also accepts students who have qualified through the All India Engineering Entrance Examination (AIEEE) or other recognized entrance examinations.
The admission process begins with the online application, which is available on the university's official website. Applicants are required to fill out the application form with accurate and complete information. The application form includes details about the candidate's personal information, academic background, and entrance examination scores.
After the application is submitted, candidates are required to appear for the entrance examination. The university conducts the entrance examination in accordance with the guidelines set by the National Testing Agency (NTA). The examination consists of multiple-choice questions (MCQs) in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics.
Following the entrance examination, the university conducts a counseling process to allocate seats to the candidates based on their performance and preferences. The counseling process is conducted in multiple rounds, with each round allowing candidates to choose their preferred branch and specialization.
