Prospective candidates

If you want spot admission

Only the specifically announced spot-admission opportunities remain available. Check the programme, date and eligibility before attending.

Eligibility remains mandatory

Spot admission does not waive academic eligibility. For most two-year PG programmes, General-category candidates require at least 60% in the qualifying degree. A 5-percentage-point relaxation applies to eligible reserved categories where prescribed.

One-year programmes and some category provisions use different thresholds. Programme-specific qualifying degrees, subjects and experience requirements also apply.

Check programme eligibility

Before you attend

Confirm that your programme is in the current spot-admission list, check eligibility, and submit your application through the official portal.

Use the applicable official notice for reporting time, venue, vacancies and required documents.
