Admission Process
Admission to most undergraduate programmes, including B.E., is through CUCET, the university's own entrance test, and JEE Main scores are also accepted for engineering. Applicants apply online, appear for the test where required, and complete counselling and document verification. CUCET scores also determine scholarship eligibility, so the same test serves a double purpose.
