Admission Process Overview
The admission process for the Sanskrit program at The Dhamma Dipa International Buddhist University South Tripura is conducted through a combination of national-level entrance examinations and merit-based selection. Prospective students must meet specific eligibility criteria and follow a structured application procedure to be considered for admission.
The primary mode of admission is through JEE Advanced (Joint Entrance Examination), which is administered by the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs). Candidates who have qualified in JEE Main are eligible to appear for JEE Advanced, provided they meet additional criteria such as age limits and subject combinations. Alternatively, students may apply based on their performance in other qualifying examinations recognized by the university.
Following successful qualification in the entrance examination, candidates must complete an online application process through the official website of The Dhamma Dipa International Buddhist University South Tripura. The application form includes sections for personal details, academic history, and preferences for admission categories. Candidates are required to upload scanned copies of their identity documents, educational certificates, and other relevant supporting materials.
After submission of the application, the university conducts a merit list based on the scores obtained in JEE Advanced or equivalent qualifying examinations. This list is then used to determine seat allocation among different categories including General, OBC-NCL, SC, ST, EWS, and PwD candidates. The merit list is published on the official website along with the opening and closing ranks for each category.
Once the merit list is declared, eligible candidates are invited to participate in the counseling process. During this stage, candidates must log into the online portal and fill in their choices of preferred institutions and programs. The allocation of seats is done according to rank and preference order, subject to availability and reservation policies. Candidates who do not get a seat in their first choice may be considered for other available options based on the merit list.
